Sachin Tendulkar's 100 centuries in international cricket is a rare record. 🏏

• He is also the youngest to reach most century milestones.
• Virat Kohli almost caught up with Sachin in the early 30’s.

Lets look at 4 charts to see the progression. (1/n)
Over the years, we've seen some record-breaking knocks. 💯

• Sachin's 20 hundreds in 1998-99.
• Virat Kohli's 22 hundreds in 2017-18.
• Sachin's 12 hundreds in 1998, still holds the record for most 100s in year.
• Only Kohli hit 10+ hundreds in a year twice (2017 & 2018).
Virat Kohli went from 45 to 65 hundreds real quick (~ 80 Innings)

Hashim Amla and Sunil Gavaskar were among the fastest players too.

This includes T20Is too. Kohli's ODI & Tests are even quicker by innings played.
