Both Ganguly and Warner had seven centuries in the year 2000 and 2016 respectively. Former India great Sachin Tendulkar tops the chart for most tons in a year as he had smashed nine centuries in the year 1998.
Most ODI 100s in a calendar year:
- 9 Sachin Tendulkar (1998)
- 7 Sourav Ganguly (2000)
- 7 David Warner (2016)
- 7 Rohit Sharma (2019)
Rohit gave India a flying start as he shared a 227-run partnership with KL Rahul for the opening wicket at Vizag. Meanwhile, Rahul also notched up his third ton as he played a 104-ball 102 run innings.
West Indies, however, currently lead the series 1-0 after hammering the hosts by eight wickets in the first match in Chennai.
