Complete Big Bash League (BBL) Centuries List

There’s always excitement and hype when the Big Bash League (BBL) returns each year for another season. New rules, new faces, and new records are what we get to witness in this T20 franchise tournament in Australia. Read Scoops loves the stats, so we’re bringing to you a special list today, of all centuries scored in BBL history, since inception with the first edition way back in BBL 2011/12.

So far, the league has seen a total of 36 individual centuries after a decade of Big Bash League being in existence. In ten seasons, the batsmen in the list below have provided entertainment to fans around the world, with 26 unique centurions in that list. Before we go to the full BBL centuries list, why not also check our list of all 5-fers picked in BBL history?!

The first batsman to have ever scored a BBL century was David Warner (no surprises there), and then he went on to ply his trade at other tournaments around the world like the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well. The first non-Australian to get a BBL ton was Chris Gayle and once again, we’re not surprised because he stamped his authority in every T20 league he played.

Nine batsmen have managed multiple centuries in the tournament, while Glenn Maxwell holds the record for the highest BBL score – 154* – and Craig Simmons remains the first BBL batsman to get multiple individual centuries. Among the BBL franchise teams, Sydney Thunder has seen the most individual centuries(7). See below for the full BBL T20 centuries list, last updated on 18th January 2024…

A few batsmen have changed franchises over the years so if you go into flashback right now, you may be surprised that the likes of Gayle and Warner represented the Thunder at some stage. One surprising element in this list was that even after eleven editions of the league, not a single batsman from Sydney Sixers had a BBL century, until Steve Smith came and scored two in the BBL 12 season!

The list goes on and while some of the earlier names have retired from the game, there are some names that follow who are future stars of the Big Bash League. Ben McDermott became the first ever (still only one) to hit three career BBL centuries. Some names in this list even crept into the list of the highest run scorers in BBL history, which you can check out here.
