In this edition of the World Cup, the Indian team performed brilliantly and captured the title. There was a fierce competition between bat and ball throughout the tournament. However, this time no batsman was able to score a century in the T20 World Cup. The surprising thing is that this is the second time in T20 World Cup history that no batsman was able to score a century. In such a situation, today we will tell you about both the editions of the T20 World Cup in which the batsmen could not score any century.

This has happened twice in T20 World Cup history

2009 T20 World Cup

The 2009 edition of the T20 World Cup was played in England. In this edition too, the bowlers had an upper hand over the batsmen. No batsman was able to score a century in the entire tournament. Although there were some batsmen who came close to scoring a century, they were not able to score a century.

The highest score in the 2009 T20 World Cup was made by Sri Lankan veteran player Tillakaratne Dilshan. Dilshan played an innings of 96 runs against West Indies.

He played 57 balls in his innings. During this, 12 fours and 2 sixes came off Dilshan's bat. After Dilshan, the second highest score in this World Cup was made by Chris Gayle. He played an innings of 88 runs against Australia. Both the batsmen came close to scoring a century but none of them managed to score a century.

2024 T20 World Cup

The T20 World Cup 2024 edition was jointly hosted by the USA and West Indies. The bowlers performed brilliantly throughout the tournament. Very few matches in this edition of the World Cup resulted in big scores. Although there were some matches in which the batsmen attacked strongly with the bat, even after that no batsman could manage to score a century.

The highest score in T20 World Cup 2024 was made by West Indies wicketkeeper batsman Nicholas Pooran. Pooran played a stormy innings of 98 runs off 53 balls against Afghanistan.
