Who Scored 100 in 100th Match? The Century That Made History

A milestone game with a milestone knock

You know those moments in cricket that just feel cinematic? Like the stars aligned, the pressure was high, and a player delivered something unforgettable? Scoring a century in your 100th international match — that’s the kind of fairytale stuff fans dream of.

But guess what? Some players have actually pulled it off. And one, in particular, did it in style — on a massive stage, under the spotlight.

Let’s rewind to the guy everyone still talks about...

David Warner’s iconic 100 in his 100th ODI

The date, the moment, the magic

Australia’s David Warner joined an elite club when he smashed a century in his 100th One Day International (ODI). It happened on 28 September 2017, against India, in Bengaluru.

Score? 124 off 119 balls.
Pressure? Oh yeah, it was India in India.
Stage? Gigantic.

Honestly, that innings felt like Warner was saying, “Yeah, I know it’s a big game — and I’m going bigger.”

I remember watching that match with my cousin Jay — big Warner fan. He screamed like we just won the World Cup. (And spilled Coke all over my carpet, but that’s another story.)

What made it so special?

Well, besides the obvious stat geek joy of “100 in your 100th”, Warner’s innings was full of intent. Clean hitting, sharp running, total control. He wasn’t just surviving — he was dominating.

It wasn’t one of those slow-grind centuries either. He took on the bowlers like it was backyard cricket. Every boundary felt like a mic drop.

Other legends who joined the 100-in-100 club

Gordon Greenidge – the original trendsetter

Before Warner, there was Gordon Greenidge from the West Indies. He smashed a hundred in his 100th ODI way back in 1988, scoring 102 not out against Pakistan.

Different era, different style — but same wow factor. Honestly, it takes serious nerve to shine under the weight of such a milestone.

Chris Cairns – the underrated gem

Another name that doesn’t get enough love? Chris Cairns of New Zealand. He cracked 115 in his 100th ODI in 2000. A beast of an all-rounder who always delivered in style.

And you know what? That century was pure class — vintage Cairns with power and poise.

What makes this stat so emotionally satisfying?

The pressure is unreal

Playing your 100th match means you're already a veteran. There’s build-up, media buzz, maybe even a little ceremony before the toss. The last thing you wanna do is flop.

So when a player scores a century in that exact match? It’s like dropping the mic on their own highlight reel.

Imagine stepping up to bat knowing everyone’s watching… and then pulling off something magical. Not many can do it. But the ones who do? Instant legends.

It’s a moment fans don’t forget

I still remember how Warner raised his bat after that century — smile, slight fist pump, calm but proud. Those little celebrations hit harder when you know the context.

It’s not just a number. It’s 100 matches of sweat, injuries, form slumps, criticism, and still coming out swinging.

Could more players do it in the future?

Honestly, yes — but it’s rare for a reason.

Some amazing players like Sachin, Kohli, or AB de Villiers didn’t score a hundred in their 100th. Not because they couldn’t — but because cricket is wild. You can be in top form and still nick off for 5.

So when someone does make it to 100 games and scores 100 in that game? You tip your hat.

Final thoughts: It’s more than just numbers

So, who scored 100 in their 100th match?

David Warner – ODI century vs India, 2017
Gordon Greenidge – ODI century vs Pakistan, 1988
Chris Cairns – ODI century vs India, 2000

What connects them? Timing, class, and nerves of steel.

Scoring a ton is hard. Doing it in your 100th game? That’s the stuff that cements your name in cricket lore. And as a fan, those are the innings that stick with you — the ones you remember years later and smile.

Now if only I could get Jay to stop spilling drinks when his favorite players hit milestones…
