The cricketers who have scored 100+ international centuries are rare. As of now, Sachin Tendulkar holds the record with 100 centuries, a remarkable feat in both Tests and One Day Internationals (ODIs). Virat Kohli is the closest contender, with 75 centuries across formats. Players like Ricky Ponting (71) and others have come close but haven’t reached 100 centuries.
