      <title>T20 World Cup 2026 sets new record for most centuries in a single edition</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330453138/t20-world-cup-2026-sets-new-record-for-most-centuries-in-a-single-edition</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 has set a new record for the highest number of centuries scored in a single edition of the tournament.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event, jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8, has already witnessed four centuries — the most in any T20 World Cup edition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka scored a century against Australia, while Canada’s Yuvraj Samra registered a hundred against New Zealand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan then scored a century against Namibia, setting a new benchmark with three centuries in one edition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The record was further extended during the Super Eight stage when England captain Harry Brook struck a century against Pakistan, taking the tally to four.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Previously, no T20 World Cup edition had recorded more than two centuries. The inaugural 2007 tournament featured only one century, while none were scored in 2009.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two centuries were recorded in 2010, one in 2012, and two each in the 2014 and 2016 editions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 2021 tournament saw one century, followed by two in 2022, while no centuries were scored in the 2024 edition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ongoing tournament has now surpassed all previous records, underlining a shift toward increasingly high-scoring contests in modern T20 cricket.&lt;/p&gt;
