A century is regarded as a landmark score for batsmen in all formats, and scoring it was uncommon until the late 19th century.

Scoring a century in ODIs was not a piece of cake during the 1970s when the pitches and conditions were not suitable to bat.

India, one of the top teams in the format, has always been a tricky opposition to bat against, especially in their home conditions.

One of the greatest batsmen of all time, Sir Viv Richards, held onto the record of scoring 3 centuries against India in the 50-overs format before the 1990s. Then, later this record was beaten by many other batsmen.

This article will list the top ten cricketers who have scored the most centuries against India in ODI cricket,
