India has qualified for the Asia Cup final by winning two of their first two Super Four games, including the recent encounter against Bangladesh on Wednesday. Abhishek Sharma was the star once again with the bat, scoring a blistering 75 off just 37 balls before an unfortunate run-out cut short his innings.

It was the second consecutive time in the tournament that the youngster was dismissed in the 70s, missing out on what could have been back-to-back centuries. Despite that, his impact at the top of the order has been big, and with two T20I centuries already to his name, the signs point to a bright future.

Following the game, Abhishek’s mother, Manju Sharma, spoke to ANI, sharing her thoughts on her son’s run of form and the missed opportunities to convert his fifties into three figures. She acknowledged the disappointment of seeing him fall short twice in succession but highlighted the positives in his fearless approach and consistency.

She expressed confidence that her son will soon cross the three-figure mark for India and the team should definitely win the Asia Cup title.

"The match was very good and Abhishek played a very good innings. He will get a chance to score a century again in some other match. The century will come soon. Everyone is playing well and India should win the Asia Cup,” Manju ji said.

Abhishek’s performances have been among the standout stories of this Asia Cup 2025, giving India rapid starts and setting the tone for their victories. The southpaw has scored 248 runs in the tournament so far and the way he has scored them has been extraordinary, at a strike-rate of 206.45, giving the team an edge over their opponents.

Coming back to the team, Suryakumar Yadav and his men will now face Sri Lanka in their final Super Four match on Friday, 26th September. With a spot in the final already secured with a win against Pakistan and Bangladesh so far in this round, the team will look to maintain their winning momentum and carry the confidence into the summit clash.
