CRICKET | Most century by a batsman in one day internationals (ODI career).

CRICKET

CRICKET: List of most century in tests shows lot closer race than similar one in one day internationals (ODI or one day cricket matches). Sachin Tendulkar is leader in both the lists and finished cricket one short of 50 hundreds whereas no other batsman internationally had even gone past 30 mark, until another Indian run-machine came along in Virat Kohli.

Ricky Ponting of Australia remained second and threatened Tendulkar's record for a few years too but his one day form dipped before he retired from all formats. Sri Lankan opener Sanath Jayasuriya, the man with 28 centuries, was in his prime during nineties and early 2000s.

Sourav Ganguly was another prolific century maker in the format but he quit after 22 while Herschelle Gibbs holds the record most centuries in one day matches for South Africa.

Interesting is the presence of Chris Gayle, man with maximum tons by a West Indies batsman (going past 18 by Brian Lara). Gayle may have had chances of challenging Tendulkar's record in five years time but he's lost in some battle with WICB.

Desmond Haynes once held the record before Tendulkar broke it, and owns it since then.

Can Virat Kohli break Tendulkar's record? that's the question we all will be wondering for a few years to come. Kohli is now only 17 centuries behind Tendulkar. Do take note of Hashim Amla too, who is quietly climbing up the ladder, although AB de Villiers seems to have lost steam in the recent past with injury issues.

Nathan Astle and Ross Taylor hold New Zealand record with 16 hundreds while Marcus Trescothick has most ODI hundreds by an England batsman = 12, although Joe Root is sure to breach that mark.
