Rohit Sharma has become the second player in the world to play most matches in T20 Internationals. In the first T20 International match, as soon as Rohit Sharma landed at the Eden Gardens Cricket Stadium in Kolkata, he made this special record in his name. Hit man Rohit Sharma has now left behind Pakistan’s prolific batsman Mohammad Hafiz. Mohammad Hafeez has played a total of 119 matches in his T20 International career.
The history of international T20 cricket tells that the record of playing the most matches is in the name of Shoaib Malik of Pakistan. Malik has played a total of 124 matches in his T20 International career so far.
England’s Eoin Morgan is at third place in terms of playing the most matches in T20 Internationals. The history of international T20 cricket shows that Eoin Morgan has played 115 matches so far. Mahmudullah of Bangladesh has played 113 matches. Talking about India, after Rohit Sharma, the second Indian player to play the most matches in T20 international cricket is former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who played a total of 98 matches in his international career. Huh. And, former India captain Virat Kohli has played 96 matches so far in T20 Internationals.
