7 Indian batters with centuries in all three formats: Shreyas Iyer latest addition

Shreyas Iyer added a notable milestone to his career by becoming the seventh Indian batsman to score centuries in all three international formats. He remained unbeaten on 102 in the first T20I against the West Indies in Lucknow on October 6, a performance that completed his set of format centuries and reinforced his standing as a versatile multi-format batsman. Iyer previously had hundreds in Tests and ODIs, and his latest century elevates him into an exclusive group of Indian players who have achieved the feat across Tests, ODIs and T20Is. The milestone comes as India opened their T20I series against the West Indies, with Iyer anchoring the innings in tricky phases and converting his start into a three-figure score. Analysts note that this achievement underscores the adaptability required of modern players to succeed across formats, where different tempos and field settings demand different shot choices and mental approaches. The club of players with centuries in all three formats remains small, and Iyer’s name now features among those who have demonstrated consistency across formats for India. The first T20I in Lucknow provided a fitting stage for this landmark, adding another chapter to Iyer's international career and reinforcing his standing ahead of future assignments for India.
