Sanju Samson scored his first international and ODI century in the last ODI of the year for India and helped them top the ‘most ODI centuries by a team in a year’ list. Surprisingly, the India cricket team levelled themselves with 19 centuries in 2023 and 2017.
Most ODI Centuries by a Team in a Year
This unlikely record was bagged by Team India due to tons by Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, and Sanju Samson.
A year that saw India win the most matches (27), win the Asia Cup, and reach the World Cup Final. The India cricket team arguably had their best year in ODI cricket since they won the ODI World Cup in 2011.
| Team | Innings | 100s | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| India | 207 | 19 | 2017 |
| India | 269 | 19 | 2023 |
| India | 310 | 18 | 1998 |
| South Africa | 190 | 18 | 2015 |
| South Africa | 211 | 18 | 2023 |
Indian players with the most ODI tons in 2023
After scoring just 6 centuries from 2019 to 2022, Virat Kohli roared back to form with 6 centuries in 2023.
Shubman Gill had his breakout season and hit 5 tons in 29 innings, including a double century against New Zealand.
Meanwhile, the other four batters contributed 8 centuries. Shreyas Iyer scored two of his three tons in the ODI World Cup, while KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma scored one each in the multi-nation event.
| Player | Innings | 100s |
|---|---|---|
| Virat Kohli | 24 | 6 |
| Shubman Gill | 29 | 5 |
| Shreyas Iyer | 19 | 3 |
| KL Rahul | 24 | 2 |
