Complete T20 Blast Centuries List

Because it began way before every other T20 franchise league across the world, this tournament is often referred to as the grandfather of T20 cricket leagues. We’re talking about the England T20 Blast that set sail all the way back in 2003 when most countries weren’t even familiar with the T20 format of the game. Since then, it’s come a long way after nearly two decades of being in existence.

Players have come and gone but the teams have stayed the same. Contested between regional teams across the UK, the T20 Blast has the most number of fixtures than any other T20 tournaments in the world and that’s why, you’ll find a lot more records in this league, both individual as well as team records. Today, we’re going to talk about some of the batting achievements in this tournament so far…

After nearly two decades since inception and having gone through a lot of name changes due to sponsorship reasons, the tournament is now known as the Vitality T20 Blast as of 2023. We updated this article prior to the start of the 2023 T20 Blast season and at the time, the count of the number of all-time centuries in this league stood at 143 individual centuries (updated as of 27th May 2023).

This includes English players as well as batsmen from all across the globe. You’ll be surprised to see that some of the names in this list of all T20 Blast centuries haven’t even played international cricket, many others are now retired, while some even having passed away. There are a couple of bowlers who also managed to get crazy on the day and pummel a century or two with the bat themselves.

While he didn’t have the most successful international career, Michael Klinger is someone who loved his franchise cricket. He had many batting records in his home T20 league (Big Bash League) but you’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that he currently has the record for the most number of individual centuries in the T20 Blast (7 centuries), a record he’s been holding since his last T20 Blast ton in August 2019.

The first batsman to have ever scored a century in the T20 Blast was an overseas player in Australia’s Ian Harvey who also became the first to score two centuries in this tournament, and then also going on to become the first to score three tons in this tournament. He didn’t have a single fifty in his international career but surely made it count here, ending his T20 Blast career in 2004 with three centuries!

Graeme Hick was the first Englishman to score a century in the England T20 Blast, doing so at an age of around 37 years when he was close to the end of his career as well. For that reason, you won’t find his name among the top run scorers in the T20 Blast history, where Luke Wright has currently occupied the top spot with 5,000+ career T20 Blast runs and 5 centuries being entered in this list as well.

The fastest of the lot belongs to Andrew Symonds who scored a 34-ball ton in just the second season of the T20 Blast way back in 2004. The former Aussie all-rounder recently passed away in a tragic car accident but it’s great to see him holding this record even 18 years later. Those to come close to it were two Kiwis – Martin Guptill with a 35-ball century and Scott Styris with a 37-ball century.

Vitality T20 Blast centuries list

While the 150-mark was passed on a handful of occasions by batsmen like Graham Napier, Brendon McCullum, and Luke Wright, the highest individual score in the England T20 Blast history was brought up in Aug 2017 by Adam Lyth who scored 161 for Yorkshire and also helped his team break the team total record in this competition at the time, as they put up 260/4.
