Six ODI Centuries in One Day: Cricket Witnesses a Historic First

September 27, 2026, turned into a historic day in ODI cricket as six centuries were scored across three different matches. Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill hit hundreds for India against the West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram, while Justin Greaves scored his maiden ODI century for the Caribbean side. Kohli smashed an unbeaten 139 and became only the second batter after Sachin Tendulkar to reach 15,000 ODI runs, while Gill scored 110 as India won by eight wickets.

The century spree continued in Johannesburg, where South Africa captain Temba Bavuma scored 103 and David Miller produced a stunning 142 against Australia. At The Oval in London, England opener Tom Banton added 126 against Sri Lanka. With six hundreds across three ODIs, September 27 became the first day in international ODI history to witness six centuries, surpassing the previous record of five centuries in a day.
