With regard to T20 cricket, players do not usually get time to settle and dominate for such long periods as to reach their century mark in this format. Hence, T20 hundreds are considered to be an achievement. Nevertheless, there are some who have achieved this feat regularly. Chris Gayle has been able to hit 22 centuries in the T20 format, Babar Azam, 12, while David Warner comes third with 10 centuries. In fourth position come Virat Kohli, Abhishek Sharma, Rilee Rossouw, and Quinton de Kock with nine centuries each.
However, the names on this list continue changing. For instance, with Abhishek Sharma scoring his latest century, which sources say happened last night against DC, the race becomes even more interesting and competitive since younger cricketers can challenge their seniors in the game.
Chris Gayle – 22 hundreds, 1056 sixes (SR 144.75)
Gayle sits alone at the top. His six count is unmatched. Over 1000 sixes define his dominance. His strike rate shows sustained aggression across years.
