[Updated] Most Centuries in IPL History: List of 100 (Hundreds) Made by Players
The Indian Premier League is a popular cricket tournament that follows the Twenty20 format and has become famous for explosive batting and intense games. However, one feat that’s quite challenging to achieve is scoring a hundred. In just 20 overs and barely any warm-up time, batsmen have to immediately begin heavy hitting to register a big total on the scoreboard. As such, scoring 50s is quite common in IPL, and cricketers have done so playing just a handful of balls. However, scoring a century is another thing. Due to the added pressure and increasingly fierce bowling in the death overs, making a hundred becomes challenging. Yet a few remarkable cricketers have managed to accomplish this feat. We have listed the players with the most centuries in IPL history from 2008 to 2023.
