India played its first-ever T20I match on December 1, 2006, against South Africa in Johannesburg and since then has played 247 matches, which is the second most for any team. In those 247 matches, a total of 12 players have scored 24 centuries for India. While six of them have crossed the 100-run mark only once, six players have scored multiple centuries in the shortest format of the game as India batters. Here’s a look at all 12 Indian batters who have crossed the triple-digit mark in T20Is.
