When the caretaker Rohit Sharma will take on the field to play in the second match against Bangladesh on Thursday, the Wada record will be made in his name.

When the caretaker Rohit Sharma will take on the field to play in the second match against Bangladesh on Thursday, the Wada record will be made in his name. He will become the first Indian player to play 100 T20 Internationals and the second cricketer to achieve this feat in world cricket. Rajkot T20 will be played from 7.00 pm.

Pakistan’s Shoaib Malik (111) is the only player to have played more than 100 T20 Internationals in world cricket. Rohit is the top scorer in this format by scoring 2452 runs and regular captain Virat Kohli is second in this list with a total of 2450 runs. Rohit has scored runs at a strike rate of 136.67, which includes four centuries and 17 half-centuries.

When asked about this achievement in Delhi, 32-year-old Rohit Sharma said, “It has been a long journey since 2007, when I made my T20 World Cup debut. There has been a lot of ups and downs in this format, especially in the last 12 years. It has also taught me many lessons in moving forward.

T20 International: Most matches

1. Shoaib Malik – 111 matches

2. Shahid Afridi – 99 matches

3. Rohit Sharma – 99 matches

4. MS Dhoni – 98 matches

He said, ‘When you come in the team as a young player, you try to learn things. Then after some ups and downs, I became a strong player and then I started to understand my game very well.

Rohit said, ‘There are many things that I can talk about. It has been a good journey, which I will always remember and keep.

At the same time, Mahmudullah Riyadh of Bangladesh is also close to making the national record. If he roots two more sixes, he will become the first Bangladeshi batsman to hit 50 sixes in this format.
