THIS batter who plays for Gujarat Titans in IPL becomes 5th cricketer to set massive T20 record, not even Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma or MS Dhoni achieved it

There are only six cricketers within the arena who has turned out in Five hundred T20 matches of their career till date. West Indies legends Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo lead the style with 684 and 582 matches, Pakistan’s Shoaib Malik turned out in 542 matches while any other couple of Windies all-rounders – Sunil Narine and Andre Russell have played in 525 and 523 matches respectively.

This elite list was once joined by any other member – David Miller from South Africa, who turned out in his 500th T20 match on Wednesday while playing for the Barbados Royals within the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) T20 2024 match against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. Indian batting legends like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni have got nowhere on the subject of this landmark.

Miller, who plays for Gujarat Titans within the Indian Premier League (IPL), celebrated this occasion in style, as he scored 71 now not out in 34 balls, with eight fours and five sixes. His runs coming at a strike rate of 208.Eighty two.

Alternatively, it was once now not enough as Barbados may perhaps score just 172 for 9 in reply to Guyana’s 219/eight, which they'd reached end result of the explosive 0.5 of-centuries from West Indies stars Shai Hope (71 in 37 balls, with five fours and five sixes) and Shimron Hetmyer (57 in 34 balls, with four boundaries and three sixes).

“He’s a a extremely powerful player now not just for South Africa, but across the leagues around the arena. To in finding some form going into the playoffs is nice. Winning does bring self belief to the group, but this loss doesn’t mean it’s down. We now have got a pair of plans, we know the form of team we’ll play within the play-offs and the actual cricket starts next week, we’ll be ready for that,” Royals captain Rovman Powell said about David Miller.
