T20 cricket is a form of the game where the pace of scoring runs is equally important as the runs scored. The rate of scoring in T20s has gone up over a period of time with batters coming up with innovative and out-of-the-box shots to outscore their opponents.

As a result, the teams depend more on collective cameos from many of their players rather than high scores from individual players. 

In this backdrop where individuals find it challenging to put on big scores, some batters have relished playing big shots consistently and found success too, scoring centuries even in the shortest format of the game.

They have taken the art of power-hitting to the next level. They have made big runs consistently and that too at excellent strike rates.

In this article, we glance through the list of players who have scored T20I centuries for India. A total of 12 players have scored at least one T20I century for India with Rohit Sharma leading the list with five hundreds. Get the list of players to score T20I centuries for India.

Old Trafford is one of the oldest cricket grounds located in Greater Manchester, England.

Established in 1857, the Old Trafford opened as the home of Manchester Cricket Club and has been the home of Lancashire County Cricket Club since 1864.

Old Trafford hosted its first international cricket match, an Ashes Test played between arch-rivals England and Australia in July 1884 and became England’s second oldest Test venue. The match ended in a draw.

Almost a century later in 1972, it staged its first One-Day International (ODI) that featured England and Australia. Under the leadership of Brian Close, England won the first-ever ODI at the venue by six wickets.

Old Trafford hosted its first T20 international played between hosts England and New Zealand in Manchester in June 2008. Since then, it has staged more than 10 T20 internationals so far.

With a seating capacity of around 19,000, the stadium is currently known as Emirates Old Trafford due to a sponsorship deal with the Emirates airline.

The T20I format requires batters to score at a quicker rate compared to ODIs and Tests, where they can take their time to settle in before accelerating.

Ever since Chris Gayle became the first player to hit a T20I ton during the 2007 World Cup, more than 50 odd cricketers have gone on to achieve a similar feat, with some of them managing to breach the three-figure mark at an astonishing pace.

Three players jointly hold the record for the fastest century in T20Is, scored in 35 balls. Rohit Sharma is one of them and consequently holds the record for the fastest century for India in T20Is.

The Central Broward Park is one of the three venues that will host T20 World Cup 2024 matches in the United States.

Owned and operated by Broward County, the Central Broward Park was established in November 2007 and has a seating capacity of 20,000.

Formerly known as Central Broward Regional Park and Central Broward Stadium, it is a multi-purpose venue as it also hosts Association Football, Australian Rules Football, American Football and Rugby matches. 

The Central Broward Park staged its first international cricket match, a T20 played between New Zealand and Sri Lanka in May 2010. Led by Daniel Vettori, New Zealand won the game by 28 runs.

Since then, it has hosted more than 10 T20 international matches so far.

Apart from international cricket, the venue has also staged multiple Caribbean Premier League (CPL) matches and Martin Luther King Twenty20 Cricket Tournament (MLK T20).

With that being said, let’s have a look at Central Broward Park T20 records and stats.
