A new record for the most centuries in a single edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup has been set during the ongoing tournament co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
So far, four centuries have been scored in the 2026 edition — the highest ever in one T20 World Cup.
Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka struck a century against Australia, while Canada’s Yuvraj Samra reached three figures against New Zealand.
Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan then scored a century against Namibia, setting a new record of three hundreds in a single edition of the tournament.
The tally rose to four after England captain Harry Brook smashed a century against Pakistan during the Super 8 stage.
Previously, no T20 World Cup edition had produced more than two centuries.
In the inaugural 2007 tournament, only one century was recorded, while none were scored in 2009. The 2010 edition saw two centuries, followed by one in 2012. Both the 2014 and 2016 editions produced two centuries each.
There was one century in 2021 and two in 2022, while no hundreds were registered in the 2024 edition.
With several key matches still to be played, the 2026 tournament could see the record extended even further.
