Josh Inglis makes history as first Australian to score multiple centuries in all three formats

A Milestone Achievement

Josh Inglis has become the first Australian cricketer to record at least two centuries in each of the three international formats—Test, ODI, and T20I. This milestone was reached on Day 3 of the series-deciding third Test against South Africa at Newlands, where Inglis scored 102 runs from 135 balls.

Match Context and Performance

• Match Venue: Newlands, South Africa.
• Date: Thursday (Day 3).
• Format: Test match.
• Australia First Innings: 429 all out in 125.1 overs.
• South Africa First Innings: 329 all out.
• Result Status: Australia holds a 100-run first-innings lead.

Inglis, returning to the Test squad after a recovery from a fractured finger, stabilized Australia’s innings. His partnership and knock, supported by Alex Carey’s 80, were critical in surpassing South Africa's total of 329. Inglis reached his century with a reverse sweep against off-spinner Simon Harmer before eventually being dismissed by the same bowler.

Statistical Breakdown

Inglis currently holds the following record:

• Test Centuries: 2 (Highest score: 102)
• ODI Centuries: 2 (Highest score: 120 not out)
• T20I Centuries: 2 (Highest score: 110)

While players like Glenn Maxwell and Aaron Finch have excelled in limited-overs formats with multiple centuries, neither has achieved the feat of at least two centuries across all three international formats. This achievement cements Inglis as a versatile batter across the varied demands of Test, one-day, and T20 cricket.
