For a batter, nothing is as pure as building a knock by wearing out the red ball, and reaching the three-figure mark. Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has done it the most number of times in the longest format of the game, with a stunning record of 51 Test centuries in 200 matches during his illustrious career. Tendulkar is closely followed by Jacques Kallis (45), Ricky Ponting (41), and Joe Root (40). Of these, Root is the only active player in international cricket, and had a brilliant year in 2025 as well.

Many are confident that Root will breach past the unbelievable record set by Sachin Tendulkar, and he did get very close in 2025, marking four centuries to call it a remarkable year in his cricketing career. However, the English batter does not hold the highest Test centuries in the year, but it is indeed one of his counterparts from to have scored the most tons this year. Today, CricTracker digs deep into the stats.

Star batter KL Rahul became India's preferred opening batter as Rohit Sharma stepped away from the format. Rahul's first match of the year came during the Sydney Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, it was the tour of England between June and August, where the ace batter put up the best of batting skills on display.

Rahul made a couple of centuries in the five-match series in the UK, and then came home for the two-Test series against the West Indies. In the first game in Ahmedabad, Rahul made his third hundred of the year, which also had as many half-centuries. He ended the year 2025 with 813 runs in 10 matches at an average of 45.16, making it one of his most successful calendar in the format.

Like his partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal too played all the ten Tests in 2025, and got three centuries to bring an end to yet another excellent year in his young career. The first Test against England at Leeds saw the Uttar Pradesh-born get his first three-figure score of the year, and the second one came during the final match at the Oval. Against the Windies at home, Jaiswal almost got to a double hundred before getting out on 175.
