[Saba Sports News] India captain Rohit Sharma added another feather in his cap, becoming the first male cricketer to be a part of 100 wins in T20Is.
Rohit claimed the achievement as India won the first T20I of the ongoing three-match series against Afghanistan on Thursday in Mohali.
There women cricketers, namely Danni Wyatt (111), Alyssa Healy (100) and Ellyse Perry (100) have the same feat against their names.
Most Matches Won in Men’s T20Is
Rohit Sharma – 100
Shoaib Malik – 86
Virat Kohli – 73
Mohammad Hafeez – 70
Mohammad Nabi – 70
Rohit, who made his T20I comeback after nearly 14 months, had a forgetful outing with the bat. He got dismissed for a duck.
In a miscommunication between him and Shubman Gill, Rohit ran down to the other end after playing the shot with his partner, who was watching the ball, paying no heed to his call.
Both the batters were at the non-striker’s end, forcing Rohit to sacrifice his wicket.
Nonetheless, India chased the 159-run target in 17.4 overs with six wickets remaining.
