Will any other batter break this record? Yes, the chances are higher. Every new World Cup has seen more centuries than before by batter. For example, the first World Cup in 1975 saw only 02 centuries, and last World Cup saw more than 30 centuries.


Hence, the trend of scoring centuries has multiplied. Now, there are more chances for any batter to score a century due to the habit of scoring quick runs in few balls.
