Till now no batsman has been able to achieve this feat. However, after Sachin comes the name of Virat Kohli, who has 80 centuries to his credit, but Sachin has another big record, which Indian team captain Rohit Sharma is close to breaking.

He has 43 centuries as an opener, which means he is just 3 centuries away from Sachin's record. In such a situation, this year Hitman has a golden opportunity to make this record in his name.

Along with this, the record for most centuries as an opener in international cricket is in the name of Australia's David Warner, who has scored 49 centuries in 451 innings. Rohit has an opportunity to break this record as well.

The right-handed batsman retired from T20 International cricket after winning the T20 World Cup in June 2024. He has 4231 runs in T20, 10866 runs in ODIs and 4112 runs in Tests.
