The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has struggled with the name and format of their regional T20 franchise league. However, the tournament has a long history, with their first ever tournament being held way back in 2009 when it was known as the Karnataka Premier League Cup, before it was changed to just Karnataka Premier League from 2014 onwards.
Since 2022), the tournament is called the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20, and some of the best players from the state of Karnataka have made their name from this platform. Some of them went on to get IPL contracts and even win a call-up to the national side because of their performances here. On this page, we’re going to take a look at our complete Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 centuries list…
The first to score a Karnataka Premier League century was Manish Pandey in KPL 2009 itself, where he used to represent the Belagavi Panthers. He was followed by some other names who all went on to become Team India and IPL stars, including Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair, KL Rahul, and others. The first uncapped player to get a century in this competition was Nishant Shekhawat in KPL 2016.

From this Maharaja Trophy T20 centuries list, the highest score is that by Krishnappa Gowtham who smashed 134(56)* in KPL 2019 and that day will always be remembered in T20 cricket history because he not only scored that century but also picked up a world-record 8-fer with the ball later in the match.
A terrific hundred by the Mysore Warriors captain Karun Nair which came off in just 43 balls including 10 fours & 7 sixes – A brilliant piece of batting by the skipper. 👏#KarunNair #MaharajaTrophy #MaharajaT20 pic.twitter.com/juETxxo7Uo
