Top 5 players with most Test Centuries in 2025 | CricTracker

For a batsman, nothing is as pure as building a stroke by wearing down the red ball and reaching the three-figure mark. Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has done so the most times in the game’s longest format, with an astonishing record of 51 Test centuries in 200 matches during his illustrious career. Tendulkar is closely followed by Jacques Kallis (45), Ricky Ponting (41) and Joe Root (40). Of these, Root is the only active player in international cricket and had a brilliant year in 2025 as well.

Many are confident that Root will surpass Sachin Tendulkar’s incredible record, and he came very close in 2025, marking four centuries to call it a remarkable year in his cricketing career. However, the England batsman does not have the highest Test centuries of the year but is certainly one of his counterparts who has scored the most tons this year. Today, CricTracker digs deep into the statistics.

Here are the top 5 Test centurions in 2025

5. KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal (3 hundreds each)

Star batter KL Rahul became India’s favorite opening batsman when Rohit Sharma abandoned the format. Rahul’s first match of the year came during the Sydney Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, it was the tour of England between June and August where the top batsman displayed the best batting skills.

Rahul made a couple of centuries in the five-match series in Great Britain, and then came home for the two-Test series against the West Indies. In the first match in Ahmedabad, Rahul made his third hundred of the year, which also had the same number of half-centuries. He ended the year 2025 with 813 runs in 10 matches at an average of 45.16, making it one of his most successful calendars in this format.

Just like his partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal He too played all ten Tests in 2025 and got three centuries to end yet another excellent year in his young career. In the first Test against England in Leeds, the Uttar Pradesh native recorded his first three-figure score of the year, with the second coming in the final match at the Oval. Against the Windies at home, Jaiswal almost got to a double hundred before reaching 175.
