How Cricket Centuries Are Counted
An international century is 100+ runs in a single innings of a Test, ODI, or T20I match. Tendulkar’s 100 spans 51 Test centuries and 49 ODI centuries.
Don Bradman’s 29 Test centuries is unusual — he played only 52 Tests but averaged 99.94 runs per innings, the all-time highest. Modern batsmen play far more matches with shorter careers.
T20 cricket produces fewer centuries because innings are shorter. Most listed players have few or zero T20I centuries despite many in Tests and ODIs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most international cricket centuries?
Sachin Tendulkar at 100 — 51 Test + 49 ODI. He retired in 2013.
Will anyone break 100?
Virat Kohli at 80 is the most likely. He needs 20 more centuries — possible if he plays 4-5 more years.
Why is Bradman not higher?
Bradman played only Tests (no ODIs in his era). His average of 99.94 over 52 Tests is the all-time benchmark.
Does T20I count?
Yes for international centuries. T20 centuries are rarer due to shorter innings.
