The Indian Premier League is a popular Twenty20 cricket event known for powerful batting and challenging games. However, scoring a hundred is a difficult task to do. Batsmen must quickly commence heavy hitting to register a large total on the scoreboard in just 20 overs and with little warm-up time.

Making a hundred gets complicated due to the extra strain and increasingly ferocious bowling in the dying overs. Nonetheless, a few exceptional cricketers have accomplished this feat. Here is a list of batters who have scored the triple-digit runs the most times in the IPL.

Virat Kohli- 6 Centuries

India’s former captain, Virat Kohli, scored a century in the T20 format in the 2016 season. He smashed all significant records during the same season by scoring four hundred and 973 runs. The Talismanic Indian batsman has six IPL centuries to his cap, matching the form of his former RCB and Caribbean batter, Chris Gayle. He reached his sixth century against Sunrisers Hyderabad in yesterday’s match. He has scored 7162 runs in 236 games. 

Chris Gayle- 6 Centuries

Chris Gayle is the greatest T20 player of all time, having scored six hundreds in the super game, making him the player with the most centuries in IPL history. In 2011, the Caribbean legend produced his first IPL century, a 102-run inning off 55 balls that contained ten fours and seven sixes. Gayle has totalled 4965 runs in 142 matches.

Jos Buttler- 5 Centuries

Jos Buttler was a Mumbai Indians player in the 2016 and 2017 Indian Premier League (IPL). The Rajasthan Royals bought Buttler in the 2018 IPL auction in January 2018. Buttler scored 39 runs in the IPL 2022 final and concluded the season with 863 runs, the second most in IPL history, surpassing David Warner’s 848 runs in IPL 2016. Buttler has scored 3223 runs in 95 matches, including five centuries.

David Warner- 4 Centuries

David Warner, one of the tournament’s most successful international players, has had four centuries. He scored his first century while playing for the Delhi Daredevils in 2010. The Australian repeated the feat with his current team, the Delhi Capitals (TATA IPL 2023), in 2012, 2017, and 2019. Warner has 6311 runs in 175 matches, keeping him in third place on the record for most 100 in the IPL.

Shane Watson- 4 Centuries

Shane Watson, who retired from the IPL in 2020, is in the top five in most centuries. The Australian is tied for fourth place in the event with 400 points. He was vital in Rajasthan Royals winning the title in their maiden season. In the 2018 final, he scored 117 runs in 57 balls to lead Chennai Super Kings to their third victory. Watson has scored 3874 runs in 145 games.
