When it comes to excelling in all three formats of the game, very few in the cricket world have managed to do it in a real sense. It’s not an easy job to do the job effectively in all formats as each format demands different skills and approaches. Thus, it makes life difficult for all cricketers to be at the top of their game in all formats.
But the cricket fraternity has been blessed with many cricketers who have managed to decode the path to success in all three formats. These cricketers not only made a name for themselves but inspired many that if you keep the process right, then you can taste success across all formats.
Here, in this article, we will take a look at four Indian cricketers who have managed to touch 100-mark in all three forms of the game:
1) Suresh Raina
The very first Indian cricketer to achieve this mark was Suresh Raina, who scored a T20I century against South Africa in May 2010 followed by his maiden Test century against Sri Lanka in July. He already had an ODI century to his name, thus making him the first Indian to achieve this feat.
2) Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma is second on the list, having achieved this mark when he scored a T20I ton against South Africa in October 2015. The right-handed cricketer already had Test and ODI ton to his name, making him stand right after Suresh Raina.
3) KL Rahul
KL Rahul is a very technical batter who has all the shot of the cricketing book. He made his international debut in 2014 and within just two years, he pulled off this incredible mark. This indicates the amount of talent Rahul holds and that he has the ability to succeed in all formats for the Indian team.
4) Virat Kohli
Another recent addition to the list is Virat Kohli, who had a bucket of Test and ODI centuries but was short of a T20I century. Though he has scored many centuries in the IPL but on the international stage, it was a missing part of Kohli’s career. But against Afghanistan in the 2022 Asia Cup, he unleashed his best to score a T20I century, also breaking the 71st century barrier.
