IND vs SL: Rohit Sharma achieves another historic milestone in T20Is, surpasses Pakistan's Shoaib Malik

Another day, another record for Team India skipper Rohit Sharma who must be loving life since taking over from Virat Kohli as full-time captain. Rohit, who recently became the highest-scoring player in T20I cricket has moved past Pakistan's Shoaib Malik to etch his name in the history books. 

The 34-year-old Nagpur born batsman surpassed Malik to become the player with the most appearances in T20I history. The third match against Sri Lanka is Rohit's 125th T20I match, the highest by any player. 

In every game of the ongoing series, Rohit has broken at least one record. The Indian skipper surpasses New Zealand's Martin Guptill in the first T20I match to become the highest run-scorer in the shortest format.
