The first century in the championship was scored by Dennis Amiss of England when he made 137 against India in the 1975 World Cup. The same day New Zealand's Glenn Turner scored 171 not out against East Africa. It remained the highest individual total over the next two editions until Indian cricketer Kapil Dev scored 175 not out against Zimbabwe in 1983. Following that, the record was broken successively by Viv Richards (181) in 1987, Gary Kirsten (188 not out) in 1996, Chris Gayle (215) and Martin Guptill (237 not out) both in 2015. India's Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma hold the record for the highest number of centuries (six), and are followed by Australia's Ricky Ponting and Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara with five each. Tillakaratne Dilshan, Sourav Ganguly, Mahela Jayawardene, AB de Villiers, David Warner and Mark Waugh are joint-third with four centuries each.
