Cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world, and the most exciting part of the game is batting. Let us explore the list of players who have scored the most hundreds in ODIs.
In the short-format T20 format, batters are constrained by overs and quickly come and go. But in ODIs, fans get to see their favourite players in action for a longer time and display their skills to the fullest. Centuries (when a player scores 100 runs) are quite common in ODI games and are one of the biggest achievements of a player.
