In those 213 matches, India have had 110 players with Shahbaz Ahmed being the latest to make India debut, wearing cap number 110.
And with growing talent pool to choose from in T20Is thanks to Indian Premier League, the number will only increase. In fact, India have handed over 11 debut caps in 2023 alone.
But now, the focus shifts to T20 World Cup with seven matches and an IPL to go for the mega event. A young Indian brigade has powered India to a series win against Australia. And the next assignment will be against South Africa, followed by Afghanistan.
