Which Indian players have scored a century in T20Is?

A Twenty20 International (T20I) is an international game of cricket between two teams that the International Cricket Council has granted T20I status, the sport’s governing body.

In a Twenty20 International, each side has a single inning limited to 20 overs.

The England and Wales Cricket Board adopted the format for the county cricket competition on 13 June 2003, when the inaugural Twenty20 Cup matches were played amongst English counties.

Australia defeated New Zealand by 44 runs in the inaugural T20I on 17 February 2005 at Eden Park in Auckland, with Australian Ricky Ponting captain not out on 98.

A century is a batsman scoring 100 or more runs in a single inning. It is recognized as a noteworthy accomplishment.

Chris Gayle of the West Indies recorded the first T20I century with 117 runs against South Africa in the first ICC World Twenty20 in 2007.

South Africa won the match, one of single eleven instances in which the side whose batsman scored a century did not prevail. Another T20I century has been made in a no-result match.

Rohit Sharma of India tops the list with four T20I hundreds, followed by Colin Munro of New Zealand and Glenn Maxwell of Australia, each with three.

In addition to Evin Lewis of the West Indies, eight other players have recorded two T20I hundreds.

Lewis scored his first century during the 2016 series against India at Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, Florida.

K. L. Rahul of India responded with an unbeaten 110, marking the first time in T20I history that two hundred were made in the same match. The innings of Rahul was one of the 19 times in which a batsman achieved a century in the 2nd innings of a T20I match.

In October 2011, Aaron Finch, Australia’s Aaron Finch, got the highest innings to score in a Twenty20 International with 172.

In July 2018, Finch scored 172 off 76 balls against Zimbabwe in the 2018 Zimbabwe Tri-Nation Series to beat his highest score in a T20I match, surpassing the 156 he established in August 2013.

Rohit Sharma, David Miller of South Africa, and Sudesh Wickramasinghe of the Czech Republic share the record for the quickest T20I century, achieving the landmark in 35 deliveries.

Lesile Dunbar of Serbia, Ravinderpal Singh of Canada, Jean-Pierre Kotze of Namibia, and Matthew Spoors of Canada are the only players who have scored a century in their T20I debut.

Gibraltar’s Balaji Pai, 39 years and 272 days old when he struck 107 not out against Bulgaria in October 2021, is the oldest player to achieve a T20I century.

Hazratullah Zazai of Afghanistan became the youngest player to score 162 not out at 20 years and 337 days in February 2019 against Ireland.

In almost 1,500 T20I matches, 84 centuries have been scored by 69 different players as of 5 June 2022.
