The highly anticipated T20 World Cup in 2022, which will be held in Australia, is just a few days away. The contending teams are in the process of selecting a perfect eleven and have virtually finished preparing for the main event. There are numerous records on the line and the tournament is in just 16 days. On October 23, 2022, against Pakistan, captain Rohit Sharma replaced the master blaster and left behind one such exceptional record.
MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh are at the top of the list when it comes to the total number of white ball events that any Indian player has participated in. They have each participated in 14 ICC white-ball competitions. Sachin Tendulkar has participated in a total of 11 ICC White Ball competitions. Even though Indian captain Rohit Sharma has participated in the same number of competitions, when he faces Pakistan on October 23, 2022, he will surpass the master blaster and set a new record.
This will be Rohit Sharma’s tenth World Cup, which is interesting. The current Indian captain has participated in every T20 World Cup since 2007 and two ODI World Cups (2015 & 2019). If we include the 2013 and 2017 Champions Trophy, Rohit’s total rises to 12 ICC competitions. India won the Champions Trophy in 2013 under the direction of MS Dhoni. India lost to Pakistan in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy final, therefore things did not work out well for them.
Despite not hitting a century in nearly a year in any format, Rohit will have the chance to strike a big one in his favored format. If the India captain manages to score three characters in any of the three ODIs, he will be able to break the record with most hundreds in a foreign country.
There is a certain kind of love among Rohit Sharma and England. Despite not hitting a century in nearly a year in any format, Rohit will have the chance to strike a big one in his favored format. His last two hundreds across all forms came against England, which is not surprising (at Chennai and at the Oval).
