Asia Cup 2025: Hardik Pandya on the verge to claim 2 incredible T20I records for India

Hardik Pandya is on the verge of touching an incredible feat in the T20I format. He can claim the records in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, where India kicked off their campaign through a one-sided match against the host, the United Arab Emirates.

Hardik went to deliver only one over in the match and remained wicketless. As the target is too small for the Men in Blue, Pandya did not get the opportunity to show his batting skills in Dubai International Stadium on September 10, 2025. India is the defending champion of this year's Asia Cup and has a high chance to retain the title as well.

According to the Asia Cup 2025 format, eight teams are divided into two groups of four. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the next round, which is called the Super Four. From the Super Four round, the two best teams will qualify for the summit clash. Team India's upcoming two matches are against Pakistan and Oman. Cricket fans are early, waiting for the India vs. Pakistan match, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday (September 14). Unlike the India vs. UAE clash, this match can offer a thriller for the audience.

Two T20I records Hardik Pandya can claim for India in Asia Cup 2025

According to ICC Men's T20I all-rounder rankings, Hardik is leading the chart. With the bat, he already accumulated 1,812 runs for India in the T20 International format and claimed 94 wickets as well. If he is able to take 6 more wickets, then he will touch the 100 T20I wicket mark. And he is currently only 188 runs away from completing 2,000 runs in the format as a batter as well. Against UAE, the pace bowling all-rounder remained wicketless and had nothing to do with the bat. During the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 encounters, he can get chances to improve his all-round tally.

In T20I batting rankings, he is currently at the 56th position, and in T20I bowling rankings, he is holding the 53rd place. But in the T20I all-rounder rankings, Pandya is on the top.
