New Delhi : Sachin Tendulkar had scored a total of 100 centuries in his long and excellent international cricket career. No player had reached this figure before Sachin. Sachin's record was impressive against almost every country. He got his batting iron not only on Indian soil but also on foreign soil. That is why he is the number one batsman in the world in terms of scoring a century on foreign soil.
Sachin Tendulkar has scored 41 centuries out of all 100 centuries in his cricket career. These figures tell their success stories on their own. There are 49 centuries in ODIs in the name of Sachin Tendulkar and he has scored 51 centuries in Tests. On the other hand, Indian captain Virat Kohli is in second place in terms of scoring the most centuries by combining all three formats of cricket on foreign soil. Virat has 70 centuries in international cricket. In these 70 centuries, he has scored 34 centuries outside India.
However, the way Virat Kohli is playing, he has a chance to surpass Sachin's record as well. He would become the first batsman in the world to score the highest century on foreign soil as soon as he hit eight centuries. At the same time, former South African all-rounder Jack Kallis is in third place in terms of scoring the most centuries on foreign soil. In fourth place is Rickkey Ponting with 26 centuries while Kumar Sangakkara is in fifth place with 24 centuries.
