This proved to be his 10th century in his entire T20 career. With this century, Quinton de Kock has joined the elite club of select and special players in the world who have achieved the distinction of scoring 10 or more centuries in the T20 format. In this list, he has now become only the fifth cricketer in the world who has touched this magical figure in the shortest format of cricket. Although despite his century, his team had to face defeat in the match, but at the personal level, this record of his has written a new golden chapter in his career. List of most centuries in T20 cricket: Comparison between Chris Gayle and Babar Azam Whenever there is talk of batsmen who have scored the most centuries in the history of T20 cricket, the name of West Indies' Universe Boss' Chris Gayle comes at the top, who has scored a total of 22 centuries in his historic and unmatched T20 career and he is far ahead in the world in this matter. After him, Pakistan's star batsman Babar Azam is firmly at second position in this all-time list with 13 centuries. Now, with his 10th century, Quinton de Kock has also equaled the great batsman of the modern era, Virat Kohli and Australia's legendary opener David Warner, who also have 10 centuries each in the T20 format. De Kock's entry in this global list of T20 centuries is proof that he is counted among the most dangerous and consistent players of this format of the game. His performance has once again proved how powerful his bat can be even on foreign pitches and in difficult conditions and that he has the ability to destroy the bowling attack of any opposition team. Quinton de Kock's brilliant T20 career and record of more than 500 sixes. If we take a cursory look at the entire T20 career of this great and experienced South African left-handed batsman, his figures are no less than an inspiration for any young player. He has played a total of 457 T20 matches in his career so far, in which he has scored more than 12,867 runs with his bat. In this long and glorious journey, apart from 10 centuries, he has also scored dozens of half-centuries, and his highest individual score in T20 cricket has been 140 runs. Along with this, Quinton de Kock is also proudly included in the list of select 13 legendary batsmen of the world, who have achieved the amazing feat of hitting more than 500 sixes during their entire career in the T20 format. However, even though De Kock individually tops the list of highest run-scorers in CPL 2026 and is consistently playing excellent innings, his team Barbados' luck has not been on their side this season and the team is struggling at the bottom of the points table, which has definitely disappointed their fans a bit.
