Asia Cup 2025: Abhishek Sharma, India’s dynamic left-handed batter, is on the verge of surpassing Shikhar Dhawan’s record for the most sixes in a calendar year by a left-handed Indian batter in T20 Internationals. Dhawan set the benchmark in 2018 with 25 sixes in 17 innings, a mark Sharma is now hot on the heels of.
Sharma’s Explosive Form
The 25-year-old has been sensational for India in 2025, hitting 22 sixes in just five innings. With only four more needed to break Dhawan’s record, the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 could see Sharma etch his name in the record books. His power-hitting, combined with a remarkable strike rate of 219.68, makes him one of the most dangerous batters in the Indian lineup.
