Asia Cup Highest Run Scorer. Asia Cup is a cricket tournament that is played in two formats – One-Day International format and T20 International format. Only Asian countries take part in the continental championship. Asia Cup is the only continental championship in cricket.

The tournament was first played in 1984, a year after the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) was formed. Originally, it was scheduled to be held every two years. Later, it was held every four years. As of now, it alternates every 2 years between ODI and T20I formats, depending on the format of the succeeding ICC tournament.

Asia Cup Highest Run Scorer:

Starting in 1984, Asia Cup has been held a total of 15 times so far. Sri Lanka is the only team to have played in all the editions so far. On the other hand, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh have played in 14 editions.

India boycotted the 1986 edition due to poor relations with Sri Lanka. Later, Pakistan boycotted the 1990/91 edition due to strained political relations with India. India are the most successful side in the history of the Asia Cup, having won it 7 times. Sri Lanka are the second most successful team, with six titles while Pakistan has won two titles.

Talking about the Asia Cup’s highest run-scorer, we are first taking a look at the edition-wise highest run-scorers. In the inaugural edition, India’s Surinder Khanna topped the list of Asia Cup’s most runs after scoring 107 runs. He was the only player to score more than 100 runs in the three-team competition.
