The Indian team has added another Asia Cup trophy to its collection, claiming its 9th title in the tournament’s history. India once again showcased their dominance, controlling the competition from start to finish. Throughout the Asia Cup 2025, several standout performers emerged across different teams. Players such as Abhishek Sharma, Pathum Nissanka, Kuldeep Yadav, Sahibzada Farhan, and others made a significant impact with their performances across various departments.
In this article, we are going to take a closer look at the top 3 highest run-scorers of the Asia Cup 2025.
1. Abhishek Sharma (India)
India’s Abhishek Sharma emerged as the top run-scorer of the Asia Cup 2025, amassing 314 runs, including three half-centuries. Throughout the tournament, he consistently provided India with explosive starts, setting the tone at the top of the order. He batted at an astonishing strike rate of 200.00, with an impressive average of 44.85.
Abhishek was a key factor in India’s smooth journey to the final. In the group stage, he regularly scored quickfire knocks of 30–35 runs off just 10–20 balls, giving India strong starts. He carried that momentum into the Super 4 stage, where he scored three consecutive fifties, further solidifying his position as one of the standout performers of the tournament. For this performance, he received the player of the tournament award.
2. Pathum Nissanka (Sri Lanka)
Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka secured the second spot on the top run-scorers list with 261 runs in the Asia Cup 2025. Notably, he was the only player to score a century in the tournament — and that too against India, the unbeaten champions of the competition.
In addition to his brilliant century against India, Nissanka also registered two half-centuries during the group stage — one each against Bangladesh and Hong Kong. He finished the tournament with an impressive average of 43.50 and a strike rate of 160.12.
Thanks to his stellar form, Sri Lanka advanced to the Super 4 stage undefeated. However, their campaign faltered in the second round, where they failed to win any matches, ultimately missing out on a place in the final.
3. Sahibzada Farhan (Pakistan)
Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan proved to be one of the most valuable players for his team in the Asia Cup 2025. He scored 217 runs in 7 innings, including two half-centuries — both coming against the eventual unbeaten champions, India.
Farhan batted with an average of 31.00 and a strike rate of 116.00. Even beyond his 50s, he consistently tried to anchor the innings and contribute against tough opponents. Against India, he stood out with some composed cricket scores of 40 off 44, 58 off 45, and 57 off 38, showing great temperament under pressure.
However, despite his efforts, Farhan often lacked support from the other end. As a result, Pakistan fell short in all three matches against India, including the final.
