Sanatha Jayasuriya is seen wearing the Sri Lankan ODI cricket team's jersey
Sanath Jayasuriya has scored more centuries than any other player in the tournament.

In cricket, a player is said to have scored a century when he scores 100 or more runs in a single innings.[1] The Asia Cup is an either One Day International format (50 overs) and Twenty20 International cricket format (20 overs) tournament organised by the Asian Cricket Council,[2] a subordinate of the International Cricket Council (ICC).[3] Originally started as a biennial tournament in 1984, it has since been organised 16 times as of the latest edition in 2023.[a][b] Since its inception, a total of 62 centuries have been scored by 41 different players.[5] India has scored the most centuries with 20.[6]

The first player to score a century in the tournament was Pakistan's Moin-ul-Atiq, who made 105 against Bangladesh in 1988. In the same match, his teammate Ijaz Ahmed scored 124*.

Sri Lanka's Sanath Jayasuriya holds the record for the most with six centuries, followed by India's Virat Kohli with five.[b][7] Kohli's 183 against Pakistan in 2012 is the highest individual score in the tournament.[8] Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara scored three centuries in the 2008 tournament, a record for a single edition.[9] The 2008 edition saw 13 centuries—the highest for a tournament—while no centuries were made in 1984 and 1986.[10]
