Most centuries in World Cup
Current record holder: Sachin Tendulkar (6 centuries)

The Cricket World Cup is the most prestigious tournament in One-Day international cricket and almost all the batting records are currently being held by India’s Sachin Tendulkar.

Tendulkar debuted in World cup cricket in 1992 and played his last World Cup in 2011 when he lifted the title. Tendulkar has scored the most runs (2278), most 50+ scores (21) and most centuries (6) in the history of the tournament.

He scored seven 50+ scores in a single World Cup tournament in 2003 and most runs in a single tournament with 673 runs in the same 2003 World Cup.

Virat Kohli had a brilliant start to his World Cup career, as he scored a century on World Cup debut against Bangladesh in 2011 and then scored another century against Pakistan in the 2015 World Cup. Given that he will lead the team in the upcoming World Cup in 2019 in England and will most likely play in the future editions of the tournament in 2023 in India and 2027; it is more or less that Kohli will end up with the record of most centuries in World Cup by the time he hangs his gloves.
