Asia Cup 2018: Remembering 5 records before heading into the tournament

3rd Momentum ODI: South Africa v India
Kohli holds a prestigious record in Asia Cup history

#3 Most number of sixes in an innings (Six, MS Dhoni and Sanath Jayasuriya)

England v India - 3rd ODI: Royal London One-Day Series
MS Dhoni and Sri Lankan legend Sanath Jayasuriya come here as they are two batsmen who have the record of hitting most sixes in an innings of Asia Cup

Wickets in UAE are traditionally flat, and those are the heaven-like favourite to batsmen. So, here is an immense probability for the bowlers to get flooded by sixes and boundaries in UAE.

Names of India’s world cup winning captain MS Dhoni and Sri Lankan legend Sanath Jayasuriya come here as they are two batsmen who have the record of hitting most sixes in an innings of Asia Cup.

Dhoni sent the balls out of the park for six times during their run-fest against Hong Kong at Karachi, Jayasuriya did the same against Bangladesh in the same venue.

The upcoming Asia Cup could see a new name in this record. There are many big hitters in the Asian Teams like Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Fakhar Zaman, Tamim Iqbal, Thisara Perera, and Mohammad Shahzad.

Who knows, one or maybe two or three of them might break the record of Dhoni and Jayasuriya.
