Root stands at no. 1 in the list with 34 centuries in Test cricket. Since entering the 2021 season with 17 tons, he has been in red-hot form in the format.
He is just two Test centuries away from Root. The New Zealander smashed three tons during their two-match series against South Africa in February this year.
He also has 32 tons to his name like Williamson. However, Smith boasts an average of 56.97, which is the most among the top 5 most century-scoring active players in the list.
Currently at no. 4 with 29 tons, in the list, Virat was the leading all-time ODI century-scorer during last year’s World Cup. He has 2 Test centuries since 2020.
With 19 centuries and an average of 44.36, Pujara was a key figure of Indian Test cricket. However, with young talents coming up, his place in the playing XI seems uncertain.
