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.

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.

Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka scored a century against Australia, while Canada’s Yuvraj Samra registered a hundred against New Zealand.

Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan then scored a century against Namibia, setting a new benchmark with three centuries in one edition.

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.

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.

Two centuries were recorded in 2010, one in 2012, and two each in the 2014 and 2016 editions.

The 2021 tournament saw one century, followed by two in 2022, while no centuries were scored in the 2024 edition.

The ongoing tournament has now surpassed all previous records, underlining a shift toward increasingly high-scoring contests in modern T20 cricket.
