India skipper Rohit Sharma and former skipper Virat Kohli are set to break the record for making the most number of appearances in ICC tournament finals during the T20 World Cup 2024 summit clash against South Africa in Barbados on Saturday.
The duo will appear in their eighth final, going past former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh’s record of seven matches in ICC title clashes.
The two batting legends have featured together in the playing XI in seven of those summit clashes. The only two finals where either one of them was missing were the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 final, where Rohit Sharma was a part of the Indian team that beat Pakistan by five runs, and the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup final, when Virat Kohli featured in India’s win over Sri Lanka.
