In cricket, a player is said to have scored a century when he scores 100 or more runs in a single innings. The Asia Cup is an either One Day International format (50 overs) and Twenty20 International cricket format (20 overs) tournament organised by the Asian Cricket Council, a subordinate of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Originally started as a biennial tournament in 1984, it has since been organised 16 times as of the latest edition in 2023. Since its inception, a total of 62 centuries have been scored by 41 different players. India has scored the most centuries with 20.
The first player to score a century in the tournament was Pakistan's Moin-ul-Atiq, who made 105 against Bangladesh in 1988. In the same match, his teammate Ijaz Ahmed scored 124*.
Sri Lanka's Sanath Jayasuriya holds the record for the most with six centuries, followed by India's Virat Kohli with five. Kohli's 183 against Pakistan in 2012 is the highest individual score in the tournament. Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara scored three centuries in the 2008 tournament, a record for a single edition. The 2008 edition saw 13 centuries—the highest for a tournament—while no centuries were made in 1984 and 1986.
