The number of male players who has so far appeared in 100 or more Twenty20 International matches. Rohit Sharma became the second during the Rajkot T20I against Bangladesh. The first was Pakistan’s Shoaib Malik, who reached the landmark at Harare on July 2, 2018. Interestingly, 10 women cricketers have appeared in 100 or more T20Is. This means Sharma is overall the 12th player to reach this landmark. England’s Jenny Gunn was the first to do so, on March 25, 2018, followed by New Zealand’s Suzie Bates in June 2018 and Malik four days later.
