Aaron’s career in a nutshell:
- The long-time white-ball captain played 103 T20Is, 146 ODIs, and five Tests while representing Australia in 254 international games of all formats.
- Before making his retirement official on Tuesday, Finch captained Australia in a record-breaking 76 men’s T20Is and 55 ODIs.

- Finch has accumulated 8,804 runs since making his debut appearance in a T20I match versus England in January 2011, including 17 ODI hundreds and two T20I ones.
- Finch ended his ODI career in September of last year, but he continued to captain Australia in T20s, notably during their disappointing home defence of the T20 World Cup.

- The right-hander played his final international match in that competition, leading Australia to a 42-run victory over Ireland, although they were denied a spot in the semi-finals despite the right-top-scoring hander’s performance of 63.
- In addition to being a nominee for the ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Decade award in 2020, Finch was a white-ball cricket superstar for a large portion of his career, playing at the highest level.

- When he scored 172 runs off just 76 balls in a T20I match against Zimbabwe in Harare in 2018, he set the record for the highest score ever. His incredible inning featured 10 sixes and 16 fours.
- Finch’s 156 from 63 balls versus England at Southampton in 2013 still ranks third all-time for men’s T20I scores, but that performance shattered his own record.
- The 36-year-old experienced the pinnacle of achievement as a member of the Australia team that won the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in 2015 and as captain of the T20 World Cup squad in 2021.
