Over the years, several legendary batsmen have etched their names in the record books for their ability to consistently score centuries. Let’s take a closer look at most centuries in odi cricket list.
Sachin Tendulkar, fondly known as the “Master Blaster,” remains an eternal icon in the cricketing world. During his illustrious ODI career from 1989 to 2012, Tendulkar achieved a remarkable feat of scoring 49 centuries in 463 matches. His elegant strokeplay, impeccable timing, and unwavering focus made him a nightmare for bowlers across the globe. Tendulkar’s ability to accumulate runs consistently and anchor the innings made him the cornerstone of India’s batting lineup. His highest ODI score of an unbeaten 200* against South Africa in 2010 is a testament to his sheer batting brilliance.
Virat Kohli, the current Indian cricket captain, is rewriting record books with his sheer consistency and insatiable hunger for runs. Since his ODI debut in 2008, Kohli has amassed an astonishing 46 centuries in just 274 matches (as of 2023). His exemplary technique, flawless execution of shots, and ability to thrive under pressure have earned him comparisons with cricketing greats. Kohli’s highest ODI score of 183 against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2012 reflects his ability to dominate any bowling attack and single-handedly guide his team to victory.
Rohit Sharma, known as the “Hitman” of Indian cricket, has made a name for himself as one of the most destructive openers in ODI cricket. Since his debut in 2007, Sharma has registered an impressive 30 centuries in 243 matches. His effortless strokeplay, combined with a remarkable ability to convert starts into big scores, has established him as one of the premier limited-overs batsmen. Sharma’s highest ODI score of a jaw-dropping 264 against Sri Lanka in 2014 remains the highest individual score in ODI history, an unparalleled testament to his batting prowess.
