A cricketer scoring a century (100 runs or more) on his One Day International (ODIs) debut is regarded by critics as a significant achievement.[1][2] As of September 2016, 12 players from 9 different international teams have accomplished this feat. Players representing eight of the ten teams that have full member status have scored an ODI century on debut; no players from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have accomplished the feat.[3]

England's Dennis Amiss was the first debutant to score a century in ODIs; he scored 103 runs off 134 balls against Australia during the first match of the Prudential Trophy in 1972.[lower-alpha 1] His total was surpassed by Desmond Haynes of West Indies when he made 148 against Australia in 1978.[3] As of 2016, this remains the highest individual score by a debutant in ODIs. In a 1992 World Cup game against Sri Lanka, Andy Flower made 115 not out while making his first ODI appearance, representing Zimbabwe.[5] It remains the only World Cup century by a debutant as of the 2015 tournament. In September 1995, Pakistan's Saleem Elahi set a record for becoming the youngest player to achieve the feat; aged 18, he was yet to play first-class cricket then.[6][7][8] Between 1972 and 1995 only four players had scored a century on their ODI debut. However, since 2009, eight players have achieved the feat.[3] South Africa's Temba Bavuma the most recent cricketer, made 115 off 123 balls against Ireland in June 2016.[9] None of the players, with the exception of Haynes and Chapman, managed a strike rate of more than 100 while scoring a century. Of the twelve occasions a cricketer has scored a century on ODI debut, their team has lost only two times.[lower-alpha 2][3]
