Players with most T20I hundreds – Babar Azam, Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma currently leads the individual player rankings for most T20I hundreds, but that might change pretty soon.

Babar Azam – the talented skipper of Pakistan’s cricket team – is chasing down Sharma’s T20I century record. Azam scored his third T20I century in a recent game against New Zealand, moving one step closer to equaling Sharma’s record.

Babar showed excellent gameplay skills while racing to century number three and is currently second in the rankings for players with most centuries.

Sharma had this to say about his century and match-winning performance against the Kiwis:

“I am very happy with my performance in this match. There was a bit of help for the fast bowlers early on but Rizwan (Mohammad) and myself saw that period through, built a partnership and then Iftikhar and myself finished it off. We utilized the last five overs and got to a very good total.”

The T20I is one of cricket’s most competitive formats and players are finding it difficult to score centuries against most opponents. However, many talented cricketers have been able to maximize their skills towards recording 100s in more than one T20I match.
