India batter Shubman Gill and pacer Shivam Mavi made their T20 international debuts. Mavi was handed the cap number 100 while Gill received cap number 101. The same gave rise to a question as to how are the cap numbers for players decided when more than one make debut in the same game. As per the norm, when two or more players make their debut in the same game, the numbers are awarded in alphabetical order.
