Number of connected components of the intersection of two maximal tori

Let $G$ be a connected complex semisimple Lie group and $S$, $T$ two maximal tori in $G$. Is there a known upper bound on the number of connected components of $S\cap T$? For example, is it bounded by the cardinality of the centre $Z_G$: $$|\pi_0(S\cap T)|\leq|Z_G|?$$
