Digital Desk: India women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur made history during the match against Ireland on Monday in the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup as she became the first cricketer ever to play 150 T20 international matches.
At the toss against Ireland, Kaur stated, "It means a lot, I got a heartfelt message from my teammates, Thanks to BCCI and ICC that we are able to play so many matches."
India has already qualified for the semi-finals of the Women's T20 World Cup. The semi-final is scheduled to take place on February 23, where Harmanpreet-led India will take on Meg Lenning-led Australia. The match will begin at 6:30 p.m. (IST) at Newlands in Cape Town.
Rohit Sharma is second on the list, having played 148 T20Is. The Indian skipper is now on a break from the shortest format of the game, as Hardik Pandya has led the squad in the last two T20 series. Currently, the Mumbai batsman is playing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Virat Kohli and Smrithi Mandhana have both played 115 T20 matches for India.
Harmanpreet has played 150 T20Is and scored over 3000 runs, including one century and nine half-centuries.
