Most Centuries in T20I Cricket History: A Complete List

T20s and centuries are an uncommon pairing; for two reasons.

One, the shortest format, gives much less time for a batter to settle and mature. Two, the bowlers in T20 are mostly wicket-takers, who bowl the wicket-line than in any other format. You, as a batter, will always be on the verge of getting trapped.

But try saying that to Rohit Sharma, the man who has 4 of them.

Rohit Sharma also leads the chart with the most 200s and most 150s in ODI Cricket. (Master of Daddy Hundreds!!!)

This article will list the most century-scorers in T20 international cricket.
