Top 10 Batsmen with most ODI centuries: It is an amazing sight when a batsman raises his bat in the air to acknowledge the cheering crowd as well as his delighted teammates who get off their seats to applaud the stupendous batting effort.

Scoring a century is a very special achievement for any batsman. It denotes his batting skills and penchant for run scoring. Hitting centuries are not easy. Some are hit under difficult and challenging circumstances. However, some of the batsmen have mastered the art of converting their humble starts into the mighty three figures marks. Here we list down Top 10 Batsmen with most ODI centuries:

10. Chris Gayle (West Indies) – 22:

It would be insensible to underestimate Chris Gayle’s batting after judging him for his jovial personality. While at the crease, he can be the most disrespectful batsman in the world for the opposition. The thrusting Jamaican all-rounder has become a synonym for the phrase ‘monstrous six’ in modern day limited overs cricket. Gayle made his debut for West Indies against India at Toronto in 1999. Two years later he scored his first century against Kenya. From then onwards, he has scored 22 centuries in his career. Earlier this year, he also became only the 4th player to hit a double hundred in ODIs, the 1st to do so in World Cup cricket and the fastest. He unleashed his wrath by scoring 215 against the helpless Zimbabwe bowling attack at Canberra.
