About: Most Test Cricket Centuries (All Time)
Overview of the data behind this chart
Batsmen ranked by total centuries scored in Test match cricket throughout their international careers, according to official ICC and ESPNcricinfo records. Sachin Tendulkar's record of 51 Test centuries is among the most celebrated statistical achievements in cricket — accumulated over a 24-year Test career from 1989 to 2013 that spanned the transformation of Indian cricket from a competent but inconsistent team into the world's dominant cricketing power and its wealthiest board. Tendulkar's hundreds came against every major cricketing nation across every format of pitch and condition, in high-pressure matches and dead rubbers alike, making the consistency of his century-scoring as remarkable as the total volume — a record that the current generation's best batsmen, including Virat Kohli, would need careers extending well into their late thirties to approach.
