Cricket is largely considered a batsman’s game. If a player scores 100 runs in a given game, he is considered to have scored the game’s century. Top-tier batsmen are more likely to play more balls, increasing their chances of reaching the century.

In addition to the players listed in the table above, Virender Sehwag, Ross Taylor and Alastair Cook also scored 38 centuries each. Rohit Sharma also scored a total of 44 centuries, which includes 30 in ODI and 9 centuries in Tests.
An important statistic here is that Rohit Sharma is the only batsman in the world who has scored the most 4 centuries in T20 matches; Gayle has scored 2 centuries. Virat Kohli is yet to score a single century in T20 matches.
Rohit Sharma has also joined an exclusive list of captains who have turned a century across all cricket formats.
With a spectacular century against Sri Lanka, Kohli has equaled Sachin Tendulkar’s 20-tonne ODI home record, achieving another milestone. Kohli accomplished the feat in 101 games, to Tendulkar’s 164.
Additionally, Kohli broke Sachin Tendulkar’s ODI record for most centuries against Sri Lanka. As he needs 180 more runs to be among the top 5 ODI run scorers of all time, Kohli has a chance to break another record. In the elite ranking, he is just behind Tendulkar, Sangakkara, Ponting, Jayasuriya and Jayawardene.
The list of top 20 batsmen includes 4 players each from India, Sri Lanka and Australia, while 3 players each from South Africa and West Indies and 2 players from Pakistan. Therefore, the top 20 players belong to only 6 nations.
This was the list of the greatest goalscorers in international cricket of the 20th century.
