Five Batsmen Who Have Scored More Than One Century In All The 3 Formats

It is a big achievement for any batsmen to have scored centuries in all three formats for their country and only a few batsmen in the world have managed to do it. Especially, T20 centuries are very rare and it takes a lot of hard work to score centuries in all three formats.

It takes different levels of mindset to play in three different formats, and it involves a lot of temperament too. Patience is key to scoring centuries in tests, while it can be just the opposite in T20 cricket. The batsmen who have made it possible should be given a lot of credit and here are five batsmen who have scored more than one century in all the 3 formats.

Five Batsmen Who Have Scored More Than One Century In All The 3 Formats

 

Chris Gayle:

Chris Gayle is still playing international cricket for the West Indies in T20s and is in the scheme of things for the T20 Worldcup this year.

Gayle has scored fifteen centuries in test cricket, 25 ODI centuries in One day format, and two centuries in T20 internationals for the West Indies. He has opened his career for a long time now but recently, he had been given the role of playing the number three for his side. He is one of the most destructive batsmen of all time with his big six-hitting capabilities.

Martin Guptill:

Martin Guptill is the only batsman from New Zealand to have scored a double century in ODIs and he achieved the feat in the 2015 Worldcup with a brilliant unbeaten 237. Guptill hasn’t played in test cricket for a while but has been a constant feature as opening batsmen in ODI and T20s for New Zealand still.
