Records are made to be broken and one of Rohit Sharma’s long-standing T20I milestones has finally been surpassed. An Irish legend has stepped into history
Ireland captain Paul Stirling has now played the most T20I matches ever. He overtook Rohit Sharma’s tally of 159 games by featuring in his 160th T20I
The historic moment came as Stirling walked out to play against UAE. While the bat stayed quiet just 8 runs, the record spoke loud
Across 160 T20Is, Stirling has scored 3,874 runs at an average above 26. His journey includes 1 century, 24 fifties, 140 sixes and 445 fours.
Stirling’s international story began in 2008. His first T20I came against Pakistan in 2009 and the journey hasn’t slowed since
While Sachin Tendulkar still tops Tests and ODIs, Paul Stirling now owns T20I longevity, proving consistency creates history
