3 Emerging Indian Players Who Can Break Sachin Tendulkar’s Record of 100 Centuries

Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill is perhaps the only name in this list, who has already displayed why he is amongst one of the best opening batters in the white-ball format, the series against New Zealand saw Shubman become the fastest double-centurion in ODIs followed by his maiden ton in the T20Is. 

In 40 games across formats, Shubman Gill has already left his mark scoring 6 centuries and 9 fifties with a high score of 208. If Gill can continue to keep running at the same pace, he could be in the position to surpass Sachin Tendulkar’s mammoth record. Shubman Gill has positioned himself as a crucial member of the national unit and with the player being just 23 years of age, Gill can continue playing the sport for a long time.

Ishan Kishan

The youngster from Jharkhand is the likely successor to Rohit Sharma when it comes to the opening slot for the Men in Blue. Ishan Kishan’s way of batting has garnered praise from all around the globe and there is no donut the player is a bonafide superstar in the making. While Kishan just has one ton to his name across all formats, he is yet to make his debut for the side in red-ball cricket.

With Kishan being just 24 years of age, similar to Shubman Gill, he has a fair chance of getting around Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 hundred across formats. While Ishan Kishan loves to play the aggressor, his partnership alongside Shubman Gill can work wonders for both batters in the coming future.

Prithvi Shaw

There was a point in time when people believed Prithvi Shaw was the one true successor to Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. The Mumbai batter has the class and the aggression and can play around the park with ease. While certain incidences in his career may have derailed his momentum. Prithvi Shaw has a lot of time on his hands to redeem himself, with the player being just 23 years old.

Shaw who has represented India in a total of 12 games across formats has 1 ton and 2 fifties to his name and could be in contention to inherit the opening position in red-ball cricket post-Rohit Sharma’s retirement. While Shaw seems like the sleeper pick in this list, if the player can find his lost touch, he is surely in the race to break Sachin Tendulkar’s illustrious record in the coming future.
