Scoring a century in ODI cricket is already a big achievement, but scoring back-to-back hundreds requires rare consistency, elite fitness, and outstanding form. Only a few players in cricket history have managed multiple consecutive ODI centuries, and one name sits right at the top with an unbreakable world record.
Based on the complete reference data provided, here is the latest and most accurate list of players with the longest streaks of consecutive ODI centuries.
What Are ‘Consecutive Centuries’ in ODIs?
Consecutive centuries mean a batter scores 100 or more runs in multiple ODI innings in a row, without missing a match in between.
Some players have achieved this three times in a row, and only one has done it four times in a row — a record still untouched.
