The ICC Cricket World Cup is the most anticipated and biggest cricketing event on the planet, mainly because it is held every four years and features only the best teams in the world. The World Cup is watched by millions of viewers around the world, all thanks to the incredibly entertaining cricket action.
The one-day international format of the World Cup allows players to fully showcase their talents, but often players perform at a completely different level. Teams crossed 400 runs on the scoreboard, batsmen scored double centuries and bowlers dismissed entire teams for double-digit totals.
The World Cup has had its ups and downs, but today we’re going to look at individual records for most centuries. Check the list of top hundred players in ICC ODI World Cup here.

Most Centuries in ICC ODI World Cup
Scoring a hundred is one of the greatest achievements of a batsman. The intensity and reward of scoring 100 runs for your team is immense for any player and even more so in the World Cup, the most prestigious tournament in cricket.
It is a marvelous feat to score a World Cup century despite the increased pressure and struggle against high-level opposition, but some batsmen have managed to score not one, but multiple World Cup centuries. Today we are dealing with players with a maximum of a hundred players in the World Cup.
Indians Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar are on top with 6 centuries behind them. It took Sharma just 17 innings and two World Cups to reach the milestone, while Tendulkar’s centuries span 44 innings and six World Cups.
Kumar Sangakkara and Ricky Ponting are next with 5 centuries each in 35 and 42 innings respectively.
