Top Cricketers in the 100+ Matches Club Across All Formats

Playing 100 or more matches in all three international cricket formats—Tests, ODIs, and T20Is is a rare achievement. Even legends like Sachin Tendulkar, who scored record-breaking runs in Tests and ODIs, don’t appear in this club because he played fewer than 100 T20Is.

Only a few players have reached this milestone, showing they have the fitness, skill, and consistency to succeed in every format over many years. Ross Taylor of New Zealand was the first to do it in 2020, and since then, a handful of cricketers from India, Australia, New Zealand, and Bangladesh have joined this elite group. This article looks at the top cricketers in the 100+ Matches Club across all formats and explores what sets them apart in the modern game.
