Most Centuries in T20 Internationals: Men and Women

Five is the record for most centuries in T20 internationals in this data, and Glenn Maxwell of Australia is the only man to reach it, in 116 matches. Four players sit one behind on 4, including Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav of India.

A T20I hundred is rare, which is why the counts are so small. Counted here: 3,558 men’s and 2,171 women’s internationals in the shortest format, between Feb 2005 and Sep 2026. Franchise leagues sit outside this book, as do Afghanistan’s games.

Most T20I Hundreds: Who Leads

Maxwell’s 5 hundreds came from 116 innings, and his best is 145*. Rohit Sharma has 4 from 145 innings and the most runs in that top group, 4,027. Suryakumar Yadav has 4 from 105, and Phil Salt (England) has 4 from just 60, the fewest innings of any Test-nation player on 4.

The fourth man on 4 is Karanbir Singh of Austria, an Associate player. He has 4 hundreds in 56 matches and the highest score in the table, 164. That is why this page carries a second list for Test-playing nations only. Maxwell leads both lists.

Associate batters fill several of the places on 3: Waseem Muhammad (UAE), HG Munsey (Scotland), K Bhurtel (Nepal), KD Kesuma (Indonesia) and D Visser (Samoa). Visser got his 3 in only 23 matches.
