Rohit Sharma became the ninth Indian and 35th player overall to appear in 400 international matches. The ongoing second day-night Test between India and Sri Lanka at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday is the 400th for the Indian skipper.
Rohit Sharma has played 45 Tests, 230 ODIs, and 125 T20 internationals for India so far. He made his ODI debut for India against Ireland at Belfast on June 23, 2007 and proceeded to make his T20 debut in the same year.
Although he had a rough start initially, Rohit Sharma has soon turned into one of India’s most reliable batters. The other Indians who have played more than 400 international matches are Sachin Tendulkar (664), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (538), Rahul Dravid (509), Virat Kohli (458), Mohammad Azharuddin (433), Sourav Ganguly (424), Anil Kumble (403) and Yuvraj Singh (402).
