Rohit Sharma may not have been able to do anything special in the IPL but now his eyes are set on the T20 World Cup 2024 where he will enter with the hope of ending Team India's title drought. However, before that, the Indian captain will make a special record in his name.
IPL 2024 may be coming to an end but the cricket action is not going to stop. The T20 World Cup 2024 will begin on May 26, a week after the IPL final. Cricket fans are also waiting for it and the excitement level is sure to rise in such a scenario. Gradually, the atmosphere is also being created regarding the tournament. Now when it comes to the T20 World Cup, a record will also be made. One such record will be created by the captain of Team India, Rohit Sharma, who will enter the record books without playing a single ball in the very first match.
Rohit will create a record in the very first match
Team India will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland on June 5. The match will be played in Nassau County, New York and Rohit will create history as soon as he enters the match. This will be the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup and Rohit will be the man to play in all of them. Rohit started his career with the first T20 World Cup in 2007 and contributed significantly in making India champions.
Record for most matches played in T20 World Cup
Rohit has been playing continuously in this format since 2007 and has not missed a single World Cup so far. Rohit holds the record of playing most matches in the T20 World Cup. The Indian captain has so far played a total of 39 matches in 8 T20 World Cups, in which he has scored 963 runs. Rohit not only wants to cross the thousand runs mark in this World Cup but also wants to make Team India the champion by raining runs.
Shakib will equal Rohit after 3 days
As far as playing all T20 World Cups is concerned, Rohit is not the only player to excel. With him, former Bangladesh captain and experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan can also create this history. Bangladesh are scheduled to play their first match on June 8 against Sri Lanka and Shakib will become the second player to play in all T20 World Cups by entering the match. Shakib has played 36 matches, in which he has scored 742 runs and taken the most wickets of 47. Shakib also has a chance to complete his 50 wickets in the World Cup.
