The game of cricket has changed rapidly, especially in limited-overs formats. Double centuries in ODIs are no longer uncommon, and centuries in T20 Internationals are becoming increasingly frequent.
Sports News: Scoring centuries in T20 International cricket is becoming more common these days. Big batsmen are scoring runs quickly and taking their innings to a century. Giants like Virat Kohli, Babar Azam, and David Warner have many centuries to their name in this format. But despite this, there are some names in the cricket world who have played many matches at the international level in T20s, scored runs, but never managed to score a century. Here we are talking about five such legendary batsmen who created a stir in T20 Internationals, but a century never came in their career.
1. Nicholas Pooran – West Indies
Nicholas Pooran is considered one of the most explosive batsmen in T20 cricket today. He has played many memorable innings in the IPL and other franchise leagues.
- Matches: 106
- Runs: 2275
- Strike Rate: 136.00
- Highest Score: 98
- 50s: 12
Pooran's highest score has been 98, meaning he missed a century by just 2 runs. His fans still hope that he will definitely touch this figure in the times to come.
2. Shikhar Dhawan – India
Indian opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has also made excellent contributions to India in T20 Internationals. But he could never score a century.
- Matches: 68
- Runs: 1759
- Strike Rate: 126.36
- Highest Score: 92
- 50s: 11
Dhawan was dismissed twice in the nervous nineties, which was disappointing for the fans. From 2011 to 2021, he played many T20 matches for India, but a century did not come into his account.
3. Eoin Morgan – England
Former England captain Eoin Morgan is counted among the most successful T20 captains. He won the World Cup for England and also took the team to new heights in T20s.
- Matches: 115
- Runs: 2458
- Strike Rate: 136.18
- Highest Score: 91
- 50s: 14
4. Mohammad Hafeez – Pakistan
Pakistan's all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez has been both a steady and aggressive batsman. He got the team out of trouble on many occasions, but a T20 century did not come his way.
- Matches: 119
- Runs: 2514
- Highest Score: 99*
- 50s: 14
- Strike Rate: 122.03
Hafeez remained unbeaten on 99 once. Just one run away kept him away from this special achievement.
5. Kane Williamson – New Zealand
New Zealand's Test and ODI captain Kane Williamson is known as a classical batsman. He has played many solid innings in T20s as well, but a century is not yet in his account.
- Matches: 93
- Runs: 2575
- Highest Score: 95
- 50s: 18
- Strike Rate: 123.86
Williamson is one of the highest run-scorers in T20 Internationals without a century to his name. His highest score is 95. All these five batsmen have played important innings for their teams in their T20 International careers, but could never cross the century mark.
