Cricket is largely considered a hitter’s game. If a player scores 100 runs in any given game, they are considered to have scored the game’s century. First-rate hitters are more likely to play more balls, which increases their chances of hitting a record.

In addition to the players listed in the table above, Virender Sehwag, Ross Taylor, Alastair Cook have each also scored 38 goals. Rohit Sharma has also reached a total of 44 centuries, including 30 in ODI and 9 in Test.
An important statistic here is that Rohit Sharma is the only player in the world to score the most goals in 4 centuries in T20 matches; Gayle has been scoring for two centuries. Virat Kohli has yet to score in a century in T20 matches.
Rohit Sharma has also joined the exclusive list of Goal Scorers of the Century in all forms of cricket.
With a century of destruction ahead of Sri Lanka, Kohli equaled Sachin Tendulkar’s 20-ton ODI record at home, reaching another major milestone. Kohli scored the feat in 101 games compared to Tendulkar’s 164.
In addition, Kohli broke Sachin Tendulkar’s ODI record for most of the century before Sri Lanka. Since he needs 180 more runs to make it into the top 5 all-time ODI goalscorers, Kohli has a chance to break yet another record. In the elite ranking, he is just behind Tendulkar, Sangakkara, Ponting, Jayasuriya and Jayawardene.
The top 20 list includes four players from India, Sri Lanka and Australia, each with three players from South Africa and the West Indies and two from Pakistan. Thus, all the top 20 players belong to only 6 countries.
So here is a list of the top 20th century scorers in international cricket.
