AJ Finch has scored 899 boundary fours prior to the start of the T20I series against India. One more boundary four would fetch him his 900th boundary four and with it he would earn the distinction of becoming the fourth batsman in the history of T20 games to score 900 plus boundary four. Others are – CH Gayle {1001}, DA Warner {958} and BB McCullum {924}
The game in which AJ Finch gets his 900th boundary four would go down in the history of T20 game as a game in which both the openers have scored 900 plus boundary fours, provided DA Warner is the other opening batsman. Australia takes the credit for this record.
