A batsman scoring hundred individual runs in a single game and single innings, is known as a century in cricket and here, we’ve listed down all the centuries ever scored in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The tournament is the most popular T20 competition across the world, where centuries means fireworks in the stadiums, big hits and plenty of entertainment for all.
T20 cricket is a batsman’s game and over 18 editions of the Indian Premier League so far, we’ve managed 101 IPL centuries (updated 22nd March 2025), with the most centuries in a particular season coming most recently in IPL 2024 where 14 centuries were scored in the season. From these, we have 47 individual centurions who have made at least one entry into the IPL centuries list over the years.
Of course, the leader of them all is Virat Kohli, who has scored 8 of these centuries himself, while Rajasthan Royals’ Jos Buttler is close behind him with 7 IPL centuries. Kohli had a magical season in IPL 2016 where he scored 4 of these IPL centuries in a single season, while Buttler scored 3 in a season in IPL 2022 recently, and two more in IPL 2024.

Hello IPL 2020 – Post Covid cricket!
With coronavirus hitting the world early in 2020, there was a lot of question over whether or not the IPL 2020 would take place. Finally after a lot of delaying, the season took place in UAE amidst plenty of security and safety protocols. The Indian batsmen in particular did brilliantly in the IPL 2020 season, with 4 of the 5 centuries being scored by Indians. A few months later, IPL 2021 kicked off, this time back in India. Then, things were back to normal.
