Pathum Nissanka’s Triumphant Asia Cup 2025: A Record-Breaking Performance

In a stunning display of skill, Sri Lankan batsman Pathum Nissanka left his mark on the Asia Cup 2025. He showcased an exceptional performance against India, achieving three significant milestones. Nissanka’s outstanding innings included a century, which made him the first to reach this feat in the 2025 Asia Cup. He joined the ranks of only four Sri Lankan players to have scored centuries in all formats. Adding to his glory, Nissanka was named Player of the Match despite his team’s defeat.
