Top 10 active batsmen with most centuries in international cricket

#8 Joe Root - England

England v India: Specsavers 5th Test - Day Four

Joe Root was hailed as a very special batsman from the very beginning because of his unquenchable thirst for runs. Since his debut in 2012, he has been successful in adapting himself to the workload and demands of all the 3 formats of the game.

There is no obvious glitch on display by him when he is batting but an excellent rate in converting starts to 50s is overshadowed by his mediocre conversion rate from 50s to 100s. This is what ranks him down in this list where he reaches 50s more often than anyone else.

RECORD: 218 MATCHES/ 271 INNINGS/ 11866 RUNS/ HIGHEST:254 /AVG:49.85 /27 100s/ 73 50s
