Most Centuries in International Cricket History: Cricket is largely viewed as a batsman’s game. If a player scores 100 runs in a match, he is considered to have scored a hundred for that match. Top batsmen are more likely to strike out more balls, which increases their likelihood of scoring a hundred.
