Dhoni’s record in terms of centuries will be broken
A total of 132 ODIs have been played between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK) so far, of which the Indian team has won 55 and lost 73. So the results of four matches are not available. If we look at the records of both the teams in all these matches, former Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar and former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt have scored the most 5 centuries each. Below him are 3 players who have scored 4 centuries each. (INDvsPAK Asia Cup)
2-2 centuries for Rohit-Virat
Apart from Sachin Tendulkar, no Indian has scored more than two centuries against Pakistan. Even the current star batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have not been able to achieve this kind of alchemy. Both have 2 centuries each. But if either of them completes a century in an Asia Cup match, he will become the second Indian after Sachin Tendulkar to score more than two centuries against Pakistan in ODIs. (INDvsPAK Asia Cup)
Kohli and Rohit have a chance to overtake the giants
MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly, Virendra Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Mohammad Azharuddin and Navjot Singh Sidhu have also scored two centuries each against Pakistan. Kohli and Rohit have a golden opportunity to overtake these former players.
Bumrah has a chance to break Kumble’s record
Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who is coming back from injury, has a chance to make a big record. In fact, Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga is the top wicket-taker against Pakistan in ODI Asia Cup. He has taken 15 wickets in 4 matches. While former Indian legspinner Anil Kumble is at number five. Who has taken 7 wickets in 4 matches. (INDvsPAK Asia Cup)
But Kumble is the top Indian bowler who has taken most wickets against Pakistan in ODI Asia Cup. Among the currently active players, Bumrah has taken 4 wickets in 2 matches. If Bumrah takes 4 more wickets in the next match, there is a strong possibility that he will break Kumble’s record.
Chances of breaking Rohit Ganguly’s ‘Ha’ record
If Indian captain Rohit Sharma scores a century against Pakistan, he will set another record to his name. In fact, the record for most runs as a captain in the ODI Asia Cup is held by former Sri Lanka legend Arjun Ranatunga. He has scored 594 runs in 13 matches. He is followed by two former Indian captains. Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) is second and Sourav Ganguly (sourav ganguly) is third.
Dhoni scored 579 runs in 14 matches. Ganguly had scored 400 runs in 9 matches. Rohit Sharma is fourth in this list. Who has scored 317 runs in 5 matches so far. If Rohit scores 83 runs, he will overtake Ganguly. Thus, he will become the second Indian and third overall to score the most runs as a captain in the Asia Cup.
