Legends with most Consecutive Centuries
In the long and storied history of Test cricket, consistency is what separates the great players from the immortal ones. While scoring a century is a milestone celebrated by any batsman, doing so in consecutive innings requires an extraordinary level of concentration, technical mastery, and form. Only a handful of batsmen have ever managed to cross the triple-figure mark in four or more successive Test innings.
The Undefeated King: Sir Everton Weekes (5 Centuries)
For over seven decades, the ultimate benchmark for batting consistency has belonged to West Indian legend Sir Everton Weekes. One-third of the famous “Three Ws” of Caribbean cricket, Weekes set an unparalleled record in 1948 by slamming five consecutive centuries against two different powerhouse nations. He was tragically denied a sixth consecutive hundred when he was controversially run out for 90 at Madras.
