T20 World Cup Stats: Another season of T20 World Cup is coming closer. The teams are now ready to fly to West Indies and USA as the tournament will start from June 1. Meanwhile, once again new records will be made, players will be seen taking on each other and in the end a new world champion will also be found. This time the Indian team also looks very strong, but you will be surprised to know one thing. That is, in the history of T20 World Cup, only one Indian batsman has been successful in scoring a century.
11 centuries have been scored so far in T20 World Cup, Chris Gayle is the first batsman
A total of 11 centuries have been scored so far in the history of the T20 World Cup. Although in every T20 tournament there is a flood of centuries, but this has not happened very often in the World Cup. When the T20 World Cup started in 2007, only one century was scored in the entire tournament. It was done by Chris Gayle, one of the strongest batsmen of West Indies.
Suresh Raina scored a century for India in the year 2010
Suresh Raina is the only batsman to score a century in the T20 World Cup for India. He played a century against South Africa in the 2010 T20 World Cup. However, a total of two centuries were scored that year. Apart from Suresh Raina, Mahela Jayawardene of Sri Lanka also scored a century. But from then till now i.e. till the 2022 T20 World Cup, apart from Suresh Raina, no Indian batsman has been able to score a century.
Raina came out to bat at number three
In the year 2010, Dinesh Karthik and Murali Vijay came to bat as openers for India in the match against South Africa. But Murali Vijay was out in the first over without opening the account and Suresh Raina had to come at number three. Suresh Raina displayed excellent batting in this match. He had scored 101 runs on only 60 balls. During this period, 9 fours and 5 sixes came from his bat. Now it will be interesting to see whether any player of the Indian team will be able to do this this time.
