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.

Asia cup 2025: The countdown of Asia Cup 2025 has started. From September 9, Asian teams will get a clash. The first match of this tournament will be played between Afghanistan vs Hong Kong. In this match, the eyes of cricket lovers will be on only one player and they are Babur Hayat. Do not be surprised to hear the name, this is not Pakistan’s star Babar Azam but a batsman of the Hong Kong team, who has gone beyond the real Babur in the records.

Babur vs Babur: Battle of Statistics

In the cricket world, Babar Azam of Pakistan is considered to be the biggest rival of Virat Kohli, but the figures tell some more story.

Babar Azam- 128 matches, 73 sixes, strike rate 129.22

Babur Hyatt- 95 matches, 136 sixes, strike rate 131.20

That is, despite playing less matches than Babar Azam, Hayat has almost doubled sixes. Interestingly, the best score of both is the same. Both players have played a brilliant innings of 122 runs. The only difference is that Babar Azam is ahead in the average, but Babur Hyatt takes over in the strike rate and sixes.

Born in Pakistan, played for Hong Kong

Born on 5 January 1992 in Punjab (Hazro), Pakistan, Babur Hayat later started playing for Hong Kong. He is a right -handed batsman and has also captained his national team. He made his debut in T20 International by playing a match against Nepal on 16 March 2014. In the same year, he also stepped into ODIs against Afghanistan. In the 2016 Asia Cup qualifiers, Hayat made history by scoring a century and became the first player from Hong Kong to score a century in T20 International.

Why is Babur Hyatt in the discussion?

This time Babar Azam is not a part of the Pakistan team, in such a situation, the headlines are completely in the names of Hayat. His aggressive style and ability to blow sixes can prove to be a danger bell for any big team in the Asia Cup.

Hong Kong team expectations

Hong Kong cricket team has announced its squad for the Asia Cup 2025. Under the leadership of captain Yasim Murtaza, the team will field and there will be great expectations from Babur Hayat.
