Scoring a century in the Indian Premier League is a monumental achievement. In the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of a T20 match, where every ball counts, reaching that three-figure mark requires a special blend of power, precision, and poise. It's a feat that etches a player's name into the tournament's storied history.
Since Brendon McCullum's electrifying 158* in the very first IPL match back in 2008, the century club has grown to include 96 incredible innings across 19 seasons. These knocks are the stuff of legend, defining matches and thrilling fans worldwide.
At the pinnacle of this elite list sit two modern greats: Virat Kohli and Jos Buttler, each with seven IPL centuries to their name. Their consistency at the highest level is a masterclass in batting excellence. Hot on their heels is the "Universe Boss" himself, Chris Gayle, with six destructive hundreds.
Gayle's most iconic performance remains arguably the greatest T20 innings ever played: a breathtaking 175* off just 66 balls for RCB in 2013. That knock, featuring 13 fours and a staggering 17 sixes, still stands as the highest individual score in IPL history—a benchmark of pure, unadulterated power-hitting.
