The sport of cricket has come a long way and transformed in multiple ways since the first international cricket match was played between England and Australia way back in the year 1877. To say that the game is a battle of equal proportions between batsmen and bowlers would be a fallacy in today’s world. With various advancements in the game and the introduction of shorter formats, the progress of batting aspect of the game has overshadowed that of bowling.

Gone are the days when bowlers breathed fire and terrorized the batsmen with constant bouncers and short-length deliveries. Modern gaming rules have made the game much accommodative to the batsmen and hence, performance of batsmen has been improving year by year. The modern-day players are overtaking their predecessors in playing long innings and are scoring more hundreds than ever.

The number of 50+ and 100+ scores by various players in a single innings is one the rise. In this article, we will discuss top 5 current batsmen with the best innings per century ratio in international cricket. For the purpose of better and fair analysis, a player must have at least 100 international innings under his belt in order to be considered for this list.

Here are the Top 5 current batsmen with best innings per century ratio in International cricket:

5. Babar Azam: 9.87 innings per century

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-371052" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Babar-Azam-2.jpg" alt="Babar Azam innings per century" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-371052" class="wp-caption-text">Babar Azam.

The records of the recent <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/its-premature-to-compare-babar-azam-with-all-time-great-virat-kohli-aakash-chopra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pakistan sensation</a> are making rounds in International cricket circles. The right-handed batsman from Lahore has brought some respite to a perennially struggling Pakistan batting line-up. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Babar has maintained composure and refused to let himself carried away by his comparisons to various legends of the game.

He has been occupying the spot for the No.1 T20I batsman for many years now and has refused to even budge from his place. His exploits in the other limited-overs matches have been equally impressive, marked by his unimaginable consistency, grit and determination. Lately, he has started expressing himself in Test cricket as well, giving indications that he is well on his way to becoming an all-time great.

In 158 international innings, the batsman has scored 16 centuries in Tests and ODIs. 5 of his hundreds came in the longest format while 11 were scored in the colored jersey. Thus, his ratio of innings taken per a century scored comes out to be 9.87 which is quite impressive for a player still finding his feet in international cricket.

4. Rohit Sharma: 9.48 innings per century

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-407735" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rohit-SHarma-3.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-407735" class="wp-caption-text">Rohit Sharma. (Photo by Clive Mason/Getty Images)</figcaption>

The Hitman, as he is addressed by his fans, is a pool full of sheer talent and elegance. Making his debut a few years before his skipper, he was extensively backed up in his initial years despite hitting multiple lean patches. Finally, after being promoted to open the batting in 2013, he repaid faith in the selectors by surpassing all his contemporary openers in terms of consistency.

After scoring a hundred on debut in Test cricket, he faded away until he underwent a turnaround akin to his fortunes in limited-overs cricket after being promoted to open the batting in 2019. In <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/maybe-one-day-i-will-get-another-chance-to-knock-400-off-david-warner-posts-a-picture-with-brian-lara/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ODI cricket</a>, he is the record holder of the highest individual score (264) and is the only batsman with multiple (3) double hundreds to his name. His performance in T20Is is equally impressive, him being the only cricketer with 4 T20I centuries under his belt.

In 370 international innings, he has entered the triple figures on 39 occasions, in all formats of the game. 6 of his hundreds came while facing the red cherry, 29 while playing in a One-Day International and 4 in the most recent international format of the game. Thus, statistically, he takes 9.48 innings to score an international hundred.

3. David Warner: 8.25 innings per century

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-389732" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/David-Warner-2.jpg" alt="David Warner" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-389732" class="wp-caption-text">David Warner. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The Australian opener is the only left-handed batsman on this list. Starting his cricketing career as a T20 specialist, he impressed one and all with his aggressive yet effective strokeplay. He was added into the limited-overs side as well where he quickly cemented his position at the top order with a barrage of good scores. Finally, he was called up to the Test side against New Zealand in a home test at Gabba in 2011.

Many people were apprehensive of his inclusion in the Test side as he was more or less seen as a limited-overs specialist. However, he proved many cricketing experts and pundits wrong with his consistency in red-ball cricket. Throughout the years, he has shown unparalleled consistency across all formats and thus, has become a mainstay for the Australian batting line-up.

In 355 international innings, the southpaw has breached the 100 run mark on 43 occasions. Out of these, he scored 24 hundreds in whites, 18 hundreds in ODIs and a single hundred in the shortest format. Thus, his innings per century average come out to be an impressive 8.25.

2. Steven Smith: 7.77 innings per century

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-411811" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Steve-Smith.jpg" alt="Steve Smith" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-411811" class="wp-caption-text">Steve Smith. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The unorthodox batsman from the land Down Under underwent a massive transformation in his cricketing career. Having started his course as a leg-spinner who could score a few runs in the lower order, he went from being dubbed as the next ‘Shane Warne’ to being regarded as the next ‘Donald Bradman’. His unconventional style of play has often posed various problems for the opposition, who at times are left scratching their heads whilst unsuccessfully devising ways to dismiss him.

His performances in Test cricket is off the charts. He often tires out the bowlers and then feasts on their fatigue, scoring a truckload of runs every series. In the limited-overs format, he often holds the fort together and maintains the pace of the innings. Just like Virat Kohli, he is devoid of any hundred in the shortest format, in which he plays a majorly supporting role to the likes of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-is-the-best-all-time-one-day-batsman-aaron-finch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Aaron Finch</a> and Glenn Maxwell.

In 272 innings across all formats, the New South Wales batsman has scored 35 hundreds. Out of these, 26 hundreds were scored in Test cricket and 9 in One-day Internationals. Thus, his ratio of innings taken per century scored comes out to be 7.77.

1. Virat Kohli: 6.57 innings per century

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-387327" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Virat-Kohli-6.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli" width="639" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-387327" class="wp-caption-text">Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The ‘Wonder Boy’ of Indian cricket has been a revelation since he made his debut in the year 2008. An integral part of the World Cup triumph in 2011, he hit his purple patch right after the tournament and is still going strong 9 years later. Since 2011, he is on a hundred-hitting spree and it would be no surprise if he surpasses Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 international tons within the next 4-5 years.

After initial struggles in the longest format, Virat Kohli finally found his foot even in Test cricket and has gone from strength to strength since then. Though he has not been able to breach the 100-run mark in T20Is as of yet, he has often lit up the stadiums with his exceptional batting, as evidenced by his successive Man of the tournament awards in the 2014 and 2016 edition of the World T20.

There has never been a tinge of doubt about his performances in the ODI format as he has already surpassed many greats and is now second on the list of most ODI hundreds in a career, just behind the Master himself.

In 460 international innings, Kohli has scored 70 International hundreds. 43 of those came in the ODI format while 27 were scored in red-ball cricket. Thus, his average is 6.57 innings for a century which is the best for current players having an experience of at least 100 international innings.

The ‘Wonder Boy’ of Indian cricket has been a revelation since he made his debut in the year 2008. An integral part of the World Cup triumph in 2011, he hit his purple patch right after the tournament and is still going strong 9 years later. Since 2011, he is on a hundred-hitting spree and it would be no surprise if he surpasses Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 international tons within the next 4-5 years.
After initial struggles in the longest format, Virat Kohli finally found his foot even in Test cricket and has gone from strength to strength since then. Though he has not been able to breach the 100-run mark in T20Is as of yet, he has often lit up the stadiums with his exceptional batting, as evidenced by his successive Man of the tournament awards in the 2014 and 2016 edition of the World T20.
There has never been a tinge of doubt about his performances in the ODI format as he has already surpassed many greats and is now second on the list of most ODI hundreds in a career, just behind the Master himself.
In 460 international innings, Kohli has scored 70 International hundreds. 43 of those came in the ODI format while 27 were scored in red-ball cricket. Thus, his average is 6.57 innings for a century which is the best for current players having an experience of at least 100 international innings.

For the purpose of better and fair analysis, a player must have at least 100 international innings under his belt in order to be considered for this list.
