The upcoming ODI Cricket World Cup will be the 13th edition of the tournament and will be the fourth time India will be hosting it. It is also the perfect stage for batters to showcase their skills, and the players who notched up centuries in the Cricket World Cup go on to become the best in the world, with some memorable innings. A century is, after all, a major milestone in cricket, and it is a significant achievement for any batsman.
Before the ongoing edition of the World Cup began, the record for most centuries scored in a Cricket World Cup was held by India's Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma, with six centuries to their name. Kumar Sangakkara and Ricky Ponting were next with five centuries each in 35 and 42 innings, respectively. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly is in the sixth position with four tons. Shikhar Dhawan is another Indian batter to feature in the list but he is at number 11 with three hundreds.
