A total of 13 Indian batters in the last 41 years have managed to score at least one century in the Asia Cup. Of those 13 batters, Virat Kohli is the only one to score a century in both the ODI and T20I formats of the premier continental event, which was first played in 1984. The former India captain, who is now only active in ODIs, also holds the record for scoring the most centuries for the Men in Blue and the highest individual score in both the ODI and T20I formats of the Asia Cup.
