Indian opening batsman Shubman Gill for the first time will be playing Asia Cup and ODI World Cup tournaments for the first time in the 2023 edition. The former Indian skipper Virat Kohli has achieved a lot in his career while playing such big tournaments, but will Shubman Gill be able to convert his consistent form while playing such big tournaments? Here, in this article, we will see some of Virat Kohli's records that Gill can break:1. Highest Score in Asia Cup:Virat Kohli's 183 remains to be the highest score by any batsman in the Asia Cup history.

Notably, earlier this year he smashed a double century against New Zealand.Highest Score in Asia Cup: Virat Kohli - 183 vs PA K in Mirpur, 2012Younis Khan - 144 vs HK in Colombo (SSC), 2004Mushfiqur Rahim - 144 vs SL in Dubai, 2018Shoaib Malik - 143 vs IND in Colombo (RPS), 2004Virat Kohli - 136 vs BAN in Fatullah, 2014#PAGE_BREAK#2.
