Six teams will be competing in the tournament with five full-time sides and one associate side. India are the defending champions having won the last two editions in 2016 and 2018 respectively.

Meanwhile, there are a few records that might be broken in the upcoming edition of the continental tournament. While the batting and bowling records are in jeopardy to a certain extent, the all-rounder record would still remain intact despite a few players having scored 300+ runs and having registered more than 15 scalps to their names in Asia Cups.

Veteran Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has a chance to go past an iconic all-rounder this season, but it is not possible for him to top the Asia Cup charts as of now. Without further a do, here&#8217;s a look at-

3 Asia Cup records that might get broken this year

Sanath Jayasuriya&#8217;s record as the highest-run getter in Asia Cup history

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-606053" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma-and-Virat-Kohli-1.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-606053" class="wp-caption-text">Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli (Photo source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Sanath Jayasuriya is the all-time leading run-scorer in Asia Cup history having amassed 1220 runs from 25 matches between 1990 to 2008 including three half-centuries and six centuries at a strike rate of 102.52. While the Sri Lankan legend&#8217;s record has been intact since the 2008 edition in Pakistan, it might be broken this time around.

The candidates for breaking this record include India&#8217;s batting megastars Rohit Sharma and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/3-rohit-sharmas-records-virat-kohli-will-not-be-able-to-break/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a>. While Rohit amassed 883 runs between the 2008 to 2018 editions of the Asia Cup, Kohli managed to score 766 between 2010 to 2016. He was rested for the 2018 edition.

Thus, if either or both of them rediscover their mojo on the 22 yards and go on to have an outstanding tournament, Sanath Jayasuriya could well be dethroned in this elite list.

2. Lasith Malinga&#8217;s most wickets in Asia Cup 2022 in jeopardy

Earlier, Sri Lankan spin legend Muttiah Muralidaran was the highest wicket-taker in Asia Cups with 30 scalps to his name from 24 matches at an economy of 3.75 before being surpassed by his countryman and premier pacer Lasith Malinga with 33 wickets (29 ODIs + four T20Is).

Even though Malinga continues to hold this prestigious record to date, it might be broken in the upcoming edition in the Gulf with two left-arm spinners pretty much in contention- Shakib Al Hasan and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ravindra-jadeja-has-to-improve-as-a-batting-all-rounder-to-replace-dinesh-karthik-or-hardik-pandya-sanjay-manjrekar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ravindra Jadeja</a>.

While Shakib has 24 scalps to his name from the 2010 to 2018 editions, Jadeja has managed to take 22 wickets between 2010 to 2018 and a good 2022 edition for either or both of them would see these two southpaws leading the charts as the leading wicket-taker in Asia Cup history.

3. Shakib Al Hasan can climb the ladder in the all-rounder list

Shakib might surpass all of them in wickets tally, but it is impossible to get past Sachin and Jayasuriya&#8217;s batting records in this tournament.

The legendary Sri Lankan all-rounder and the Master Blaster have amassed 1220 and 971 runs which Shakib cannot surpass as he is way behind the duo. The southpaw has only managed 402 runs between 2010 to 2018 including three half-centuries.

The maximum Shakib Al Hasan can manage to do is surpass former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi who has 532 runs to his name in this competition.

Asia Cup 2022: 3 records that might get broken in tournament

The Asia Cup 2022 might see a few individual records being broken on the 22 yards as well as with the ball in hand.
