Rohit Sharma will play his 100th T20I international match against Bangladesh

The Bangladesh team is touring India for the T20I series and Test series. This series before it has been started have always been in limelight from Bangladesh’s players strike to Shakib-al0Hasan suspension, from Delhi’s T20I match played in pollution to Rajkot match being affected by the cyclone. But the Test series of this tour will see both the teams playing their 1st Day-Night Test match at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata as they will play 2nd Test match of the series there which is scheduled from 22nd November.

The Bangladesh team created history by defeating India team in the 1st T20I and hence registered their 1st ever T20I victory against India in their 9th clash. The 2nd T20I might be affected by the cyclone but if it is not affected the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma will create a personal record of playing 100th T20I international and thus he will become the 2nd to do so after Pakistan’s Shoaib malik.

Rohit Sharma is the name that comes to mind whenever we someone talk about T20I format whether it’s International or IPL, Rohit Sharma has dominated in this format from the day he debuted. As the regular captain, Virat Kohli is being rested he is leading the Indian side against the Bangladesh team.

Rohit Sharma is lucky that he will be the 1st Indian to do so as MS Dhoni who has played 98 T20I matches is not available for the selection after the World Cup 2019, if he had been there he has achieved this record very soon before Rohit can.
