Indian skipper Rohit Sharma reached a ‘century’ milestone on his T20I return in IND vs AFG 1st T20I at Mohali on Thursday.
Despite a horrendous outing with the bat, where the Indian opener got run-out on 2-ball duck, Rohit registered a special record, becoming the first player in the history to be part of the 100 wins in men’s T20I.
The 36-year-old is the first in men’s T20I and fourth player overall to reach the 100th T20I win mark.
England’s Danni Wyatt (111) and Australian Women’s cricket duo Alyssa Healy (100) and Ellyse Perry (100) are the other cricketers who have been part of 100 wins in the shortest format.
