Playing 100 T20 international matches is the new feat any cricketer will look forward to.
With T20s being the current norm, where the interest of the majority cricket audience lies, and the World Cup is held once in two years, teams are more interested in including the shortest format in every bilateral tour.
Nowadays, we also witness teams travelling to other countries to play just the T20 format.
We have seen before the elite list of players who have played 150 Test matches, and here is the new list of cricketers who have crossed the landmark of playing in more than 100 T20I matches.
