Top 5 players with most centuries in international cricket

1. Sachin Tendulkar (India) – 100 centuries

The only player to ever reach the mark of 100 centuries, Tendulkar was a once-in-a-generation batter. He carried India to tons of victories single-handedly through his amazing knocks.

2. Virat Kohli (India) – 80 centuries

After Tendulkar’s retirement from international cricket, Kohli has been the one on whom the Indian team has relied on many occasions to see them through. Kohli went on to achieve far more in his career than what was expected from him in the beginning.

3. Ricky Ponting (Australia) – 71 centuries

The Australian is not only among the successful captains in international cricket history but is also one of the most decorated batters to ever play the game. He was arguably the most important player for Australia even though they had a star-studded lineup during that time.

4. Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka) – 63 centuries

The Sri Lankan great was arguably his side’s most important batter for over a decade. His team relied on him during tough situations especially in the Test format and he used to deliver on most of the occasions.

5. Jacques Kallis (South Africa) – 62 centuries

Kallis was a key part of the side in both the Test and ODI format. The South African wasn’t only a legendary batter but was also a fantastic bowler with 577 wickets in international cricket. He is among the best all-rounders to ever grace the game.
