Asia cup t20 most Hindreds: The T20 format of the Asia Cup may be small, but it has proved to be extremely difficult to score a century in this tournament. So far, only two batsmen have been such in the history of this competition who played a century innings by batting brilliantly. Interestingly, both centuries have come under different teams and different circumstances, but both innings are counted in memorable innings of the tournament.
Babur Hayat – Hong Kong vs Oman
Hong Kong batsman Babur Hayat created history in the T20 Asia Cup in 2016. In this match played against Oman in Fatullah on 19 February, Hayat played a bang of 122 runs. He completed this century off just 60 balls and was staying at the crease for a total of 91 minutes. In this innings, Hyatt hit 9 fours and 7 sixes and scored at a strike rate of 203.33. This was not only the first century of the Asia Cup T20 but is considered one of the most memorable innings in Hong Kong cricket history.
Virat Kohli – India vs Afghanistan
The second name in the list of this record is of Virat Kohli, the star batsman of the Indian team. On 8 September 2022, he scored an unbeaten 122 against Afghanistan in Dubai and scored the second century in the Asia Cup T20. Kohli’s innings included 12 fours and 6 skyscraper sixes off 61 balls. During this time his strike rate was 200. This innings was also special because Kohli had been struggling with the drought of a century for a long time and this innings started the process of his own centuries in international cricket.
Statistics show difficult
So far, only two centuries have been scored in the history of Asia Cup T20, one Babur Hayat’s in 2016 and the other in Virat Kohli in 2022. This figure suggests that even though the T20 format is considered to be the fastest way of scoring runs for the batsmen, the circumstances and pressure of the tournament make it more challenging. This time the Asia Cup 2025 will also be played in T20 format. Now it will be interesting to see whether another player can make his place in this list or not.
