Stats Attack - Most Number of Centuries In a Single ODI Innings 1

5. India vs West Indies (Jamshedpur, 1983)

Vivian Richards of West Indies.

Months later after defeating West Indies in the 1983 World Cup final, India were taken aback during an ODI game in Jamshedpur in 1983. In the 4th ODI of the bilateral series, West Indies smacked 333 runs. Opener Gorden Greenidge scored a hundred while Vivian Richards, known to be the most devastating batsman of all time, notched one too. The innings from the latter’s bat brought crowd to their feet as he scored 149 in just 99 balls, smashing bowlers for 20 fours and three sixes.

That match went down in history as the third recorded match where two players from a same side completed a ton and unfortunately it was India on the receiving end again. West Indies won the match by 104 runs and Richards was awarded as the Man-of-the-match.
