This list is closed. Kohli retired from Test cricket in May 2025. Nothing in the New Zealand ODIs, the home series against Sri Lanka, or the 2027 World Cup can add a row here. The road to 100 is an ODI road because this book has stopped.

Thirty is a long Test career and it is also the reason 100 is hard. Tendulkar made 51 of his hundreds in Tests. Kohli cannot add to the 30. The highest score in the Test list is 254* against South Africa in Pune. That innings has its own page because people search the highest Test score directly: 254*.

Double hundreds in this table are part of the same argument, not a separate gallery. A fourth-innings hundred is marked as a chase. The other Test hundreds are marked set, including a second-innings hundred, because a Test innings two is not the same job as an ODI chase.
