Stats: Most centuries in T20 cricket
The T20 format since its inauguration in 2007 is claimed to have resulted in a more athletic and "explosive" form of cricket. To score centuries in a limited overs game and that too in such a short time span is not a cake walk for the batsmen. Chris Gayle with 11 centuries in 173 matches writes history with his flamboyance as he is the only player to score more than 10 centuries till now.
David Warner and Brendon McCullum, the top order batsmen of Australia and New Zealand respectively have bagged 5 tons each whereas Ian Harvey, Hamilton Masakadza, Ahmed Shehzad, Adam Gilchrist and Richard Levi are some of the leading batsmen with 3 centuries.
