Key Insights – Current Test Hundred Leaders
If you’re wondering who currently leads the pack for most Test centuries among active players, you’ve come to the right place.
Three of the Fab Four batters occupy the top three spots. Joe Root, Steven Smith, and Kane Williamson have more than 30 Test centuries to their names. The other member of the quartet, Virat Kohli, retired with 30 hundreds.
Root also leads the run chart, with over 13,000 runs to his name. He is now century-maker in the whites.
What’s fascinating is that more than half of Root’s centuries have come since the start of the 2020s decade. This also includes his best score of 262 achieved against Pakistan in 2024.
Williamson are the other two batters to bring up 10 or more hundreds this decade.
