The game of cricket has constantly been evolving. While till the early 1970s there was only Test cricket, the format is now losing out to the new entries. With ODI cricket and T20I&#8217;s becoming popular, the commercial value of the oldest format of the game has been on the downfall. In order to cover for this, the ICC Test Championship was introduced in 2019 to make the games more meaningful for the viewers.

However, even with the changing formats, one thing which hasn’t lost its importance is the value of scoring centuries. Even today, a batsman is judged on the number of hundreds he has scored. Even in the T20 format, teams look for players who can get in the big knocks.

So why are centuries considered to be so important? Why are the batsmen scoring centuries rated so highly? Well, the answer is simple. Centuries are a mark of consistency, they show that the players are making their inning count. It provides stability and gives your partner at the other end more time to settle.

Let’s look at the currently active batsmen who have scored the maximum number of centuries across all International cricket. We shall also dig deeper and see how many innings they have taken to achieve the feat. Remember it’s not just about the number of centuries you score, but about how frequently you can score them.

Here&#8217;s the list of players:

The Indian opening batsman, Rohit Sharma requires no introduction. Perhaps one of the greatest ODI openers, if not the limited-overs in totality. He started his career as a middle-order batsman but after initial success, failed to capitalize on the opportunities he got. In a surprise move, MS Dhoni promoted him to an opener in the 2013 Champions Trophy. This is when &#8216;Rohit Sharma 2.0&#8217; was born.

With 39 hundreds in 370 innings, the smashing opener averages a century every 9.49 innings. He also has 3 double hundreds in ODI&#8217;s and 4 hundreds in T20I&#8217;s which is the most for a batsman in both the formats. Goes without saying why he is famously known as the &#8216; Hitman &#8216;. He has 6 Test hundreds, 29 ODI hundreds and 4 T20I centuries.

During the 2019 ICC World Cup, he became the first-ever man to score 5 centuries in a single edition of the World Cup breaking <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-couldnt-do-justice-to-that-occasion-aakash-chopra-picks-kumar-sangakkaras-last-test-as-his-worst-moment-as-commentator/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kumar Sangakkara&#8217;s</a> record as the Sri Lankan great had hit 4 centuries in the 2015 World Cup. He also went on to become the highest run-getter in the 2019 World Cup with 648 runs. With him starting to open in Test cricket, the centuries seem to be on an upward rise.

At No.4 position, we have the experienced middle-order batsman Ross Taylor. The Kiwi legend has scored a total of 40 International hundreds in as many as 486 innings. He averages a century every 12.15 innings. He also has more International hundreds than any other New Zealand batsman. His tally comprises of 19 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/england-vs-west-indies-2020-3rd-test-day-2-broads-quick-fire-fifty-roachs-milestones-and-more-stats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Test </a>hundreds and 21 ODI hundreds.

Even at 36 years of age, the right-hander remains as one of the key players in the Kiwi set up. Taylor and Williamson are the most consistent batsman in the New Zealand team. He has also captained the side for a brief period. Scoring hundreds in his backyard is no joke as the swinging conditions give extra assistance to the bowlers.

Batting predominantly at number four, he is the leading run-scorer for New Zealand in Test and ODI cricket. As of June 2020, Taylor has played 433 International matches (101 Tests, 232 ODIs, 100 T20Is) and has scored 17,717 International runs (7,239 runs in Tests, 8,569 runs in ODIs, 1,909 in T20Is). He is currently ranked 15 in Tests, 4 in ODIs, and 42 in T20Is.

It is no surprise to see the West Indian destructive opener Chris Gayle make this list. With 42 centuries in 530 innings, he scores a hundred every 12.62 innings. Considering the number of matches he has played this average seems rather poor. He has scored 15 centuries in Test matches, 25 in ODIs and 2 in T20Is.

Leaving that aside, there is no way to deny the impact he has had. The moment you think of explosiveness, Gayle is among the first names that come to mind. With 19,321 runs at an average of 38.79, he has definitely done his bit for the West Indies.

He is also the only player to have a T20I hundred, ODI double hundred and a Test triple hundred. While the big man is already 40 years old, he believes that he is fitter than ever. In an interview, he revealed that he might well play for another 5 years and his career was far from over. This left his fans thrilled as they would love to see some more of greats knocks from the man.

It is hard to think of a modern day dream batting line-up without David Warner. The Aussie opener has excelled in every format. While many thought his style of play was suited for limited-overs cricket, he proved everyone wrong by showing his worth in the longest format of the game.

With 43 centuries in 355 innings, Warner manages to score a hundred every 8.26 innings. He has 24 Test hundreds, 18 ODI hundreds and one T20I century. If this was not enough he also has an average of 44.19 across all International cricket. What this shows is that even when he is not scoring the big hundreds he is chipping in with a lot of good runs.

It comes as no shocker that Australia were missing their star opener while he was serving his ban period along with <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/the-number-nut-why-steve-smith-can-go-past-sachin-tendulkars-tally-of-51-test-hundreds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Steve Smith</a>. He came back strongly and went on to become the second-highest run-getter in the ODI World Cup 2019 with 647 runs, just one run behind Rohit Sharma. He is currently one of the most sought-after openers in world cricket, one who makes runs for fun across all formats.

Even before you started reading this article it would have been clear to most of you all that Virat Kohli would be leading this list. With his phenomenal performances across the last decade, he has shown his value to one and all. It comes as no surprise that the chase master is leading the pack. The world has witnessed his knack of scoring big match-winning hundreds.

With 70 hundreds in 460 innings, he scores a hundred every 6.57 innings. Some of you might be thinking this is too much which just shows the standards he has set for himself. The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sourav-ganguly-has-been-a-massive-influence-on-indian-cricket-virat-kohli-has-taken-it-to-another-level-david-lloyd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Indian </a>captain has 27 Test centuries and 43 ODI hundreds. Perhaps the only box left for him to tick is scoring a T20I hundred. Looking at the calibre of this prolific player, we believe that day is not too far.

The No.3 batsman is famously called as &#8216;King Kohli &#8216; by his fans. The title of King is given to him for his terrific achievements in the game. While he is known for scoring hundreds for fun, the number of not outs in that make him a legend. Once set it is almost impossible to get him out. He is currently the No.1 ODI batsman while he is ranked at 10th in T20I and 2nd in the traditional format.

It is hard to think of a modern day dream batting line-up without David Warner. The Aussie opener has excelled in every format. While many thought his style of play was suited for limited-overs cricket, he proved everyone wrong by showing his worth in the longest format of the game.
With 43 centuries in 355 innings, Warner manages to score a hundred every 8.26 innings. He has 24 Test hundreds, 18 ODI hundreds and one T20I century. If this was not enough he also has an average of 44.19 across all International cricket. What this shows is that even when he is not scoring the big hundreds he is chipping in with a lot of good runs.
It comes as no shocker that Australia were missing their star opener while he was serving his ban period along with <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/the-number-nut-why-steve-smith-can-go-past-sachin-tendulkars-tally-of-51-test-hundreds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Steve Smith</a>. He came back strongly and went on to become the second-highest run-getter in the ODI World Cup 2019 with 647 runs, just one run behind Rohit Sharma. He is currently one of the most sought-after openers in world cricket, one who makes runs for fun across all formats.

<h3>1. Virat Kohli</h3>

Even before you started reading this article it would have been clear to most of you all that Virat Kohli would be leading this list. With his phenomenal performances across the last decade, he has shown his value to one and all. It comes as no surprise that the chase master is leading the pack. The world has witnessed his knack of scoring big match-winning hundreds.
With 70 hundreds in 460 innings, he scores a hundred every 6.57 innings. Some of you might be thinking this is too much which just shows the standards he has set for himself. The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sourav-ganguly-has-been-a-massive-influence-on-indian-cricket-virat-kohli-has-taken-it-to-another-level-david-lloyd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Indian </a>captain has 27 Test centuries and 43 ODI hundreds. Perhaps the only box left for him to tick is scoring a T20I hundred. Looking at the calibre of this prolific player, we believe that day is not too far.
The No.3 batsman is famously called as &#8216;King Kohli &#8216; by his fans. The title of King is given to him for his terrific achievements in the game. While he is known for scoring hundreds for fun, the number of not outs in that make him a legend. Once set it is almost impossible to get him out. He is currently the No.1 ODI batsman while he is ranked at 10th in T20I and 2nd in the traditional format.

It’s not just about the number of centuries you score, but about how frequently you can score them.
