List of Virat Kohli Centuries in All Three Formats
Virat Kohli has scored 86 centuries in international cricket: 30 in Tests, 55 in One Day Internationals, and 1 in Twenty20 Internationals. That total puts him second on the all-time list of international century-makers, behind only Sachin Tendulkar’s 100, and his 55 ODI hundreds are the most by any batter in that format. This article gives the complete breakdown by format, including the full list of every Test and ODI century.
Kohli retired from Tests in May 2025 and from T20Is in June 2024, so his tallies in those two formats are final. He continues to play ODIs, where he added his 55th century in September 2026. Across all three formats he has scored 28,498 international runs, and his century record spans 17 years, from his first hundred against Sri Lanka in December 2009 to his latest against West Indies in September 2026.

T20I Century: The Only One
Kohli has exactly one T20I century: an unbeaten 122 against Afghanistan at Dubai in the 2022 Asia Cup, scored from 61 balls at a strike rate of 200. The innings ended a drought of 1,021 days without an international hundred and came with him opening the batting. He retired from T20Is after India’s T20 World Cup win in June 2024, finishing with 4,188 runs at an average of 48.69 in 125 matches, with that single century and 38 fifties.
