Rohit Sharma Becomes First Indian To Complete 400 Matches In T20s

Guwahati: With walking out for the toss for the 2nd T20I against South Africa in Guwahati, India captain Rohit Sharma scripted a new record today.

Sharma became the first player from the country to feature in 400 T20 matches. The India captain has played 140 matches, 16 more than nearest-rival Shoaib Malik of Pakistan.

Only Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni are the Indian cricketers to have played more than 350 matches in T20s.

Rohit will lead India in a World Cup for the first time as the star batter will bid to help India end their wait for an ICC title since 2013 at the T20 World Cup in Australia in October-November.
