India National Cricket Team all-format captain Rohit Sharma has become the most capped player in the history of T20 International cricket.

Rohit Sharma has been doing a great job since being appointed as the full-time captain of the Indian team. Notably, the 34-year-old was named as India’s T20I captain after Virat Kohli decided to step down from his role following the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021.
