Top 5 Players with Most IPL centuries in one season

Virat Kohli (2016): 4 centuries

2016 will always be remembered as the season in which Virat Kohli went ballistic with the bat. The former RCB skipper scored 4 centuries which was then a solo record until it was equalled by Jos Buttler in 2022. Kohli had a great run with the bat, scoring 973 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 152.03 and an average of 81.08. Kohli’s 973 runs are still the most runs scored in a single IPL season.

Jos Buttler (2022): 4 centuries

England’s limited-overs skipper Buttler was in red-hot form in the 2022 IPL season. Buttler almost single-handedly took RR to their second IPL final. Buttler accumulated 4 centuries last season and equalled Kohli’s tally of 2016. In 17 matches, Buttler scored 863 runs at a strike rate of 149.05.

Shubman Gill (2023): 3 centuries

In the IPL 2023 season, Shubman Gill had a remarkable performance with the bat, scoring three centuries in his last four innings. This outstanding feat made him only the third player in the history of the IPL to score the most centuries in a single season. Gill showcased his exceptional batting skills and consistency throughout the tournament, leaving a lasting impact on the cricketing world. His ability to score centuries at such a high frequency demonstrates his immense talent and determination. Scoring centuries in the IPL is no easy task, as it requires not only skill but also a strong mental approach and the ability to perform under pressure. Gill’s accomplishment of scoring three centuries in just four innings speaks volumes about his maturity as a batsman and his ability to dominate the opposition.

His performances not only contributed significantly to his team’s success but also left a lasting impression on fans and critics alike. Gill’s ability to convert his starts into big centuries highlights his hunger for runs and his desire to make a substantial impact in every match he plays. By becoming one of the few players to score three centuries in a single IPL season, Shubman Gill has etched his name in the history books of the tournament.

Chris Gayle (2011): 2 centuries

Gayle was brought in as a replacement for Dirk Nannes in the RCB team in IPL 2011 and he made an immediate impact. RCB reached the final of the IPL 2011 season, with Gayle in red-hot form. Gayle lit up the IPL during the 2011 edition, smashing 2 centuries and scoring 608 runs at a strike rate of 183.13.

Hashim Amla (2017): 2 centuries

The Protea legend was known more for OTDC his exploits in Test cricket, but finds a place on this IPL list as well. Amla played just two seasons of the IPL for KXIP (now PBKS), featuring in 16 games and scoring 577 runs. In the 2017 season he smashed 3 half- centuries and a couple of hundreds.

Devon Conway encountered difficulties while facing the spinners of Gujarat during the match, ultimately succumbing to pressure and losing his wicket. He managed to score 40 runs in 34 balls, with only four fours. Following the dismissal of the aforementioned batters, subsequent partnerships were not as fruitful.

Two wickets have been taken by Mohit and Shami.

The implementation and verification of this rule have been observed in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, after adopting it from the Australian Big Bash League. The regulation allows for the replacement of a player during the game if it would be advantageous to the circumstances and playing conditions of the match.

The updated regulation empowers teams to finalise their playing XI subsequent to the toss, thereby eliminating the impact of the toss result. Elimination of the requirement for team captains to furnish team sheets during the toss. The current regulations permit the selection of five players as substitutes, with the option of designating one as the impact player. Furthermore, any delay in over-rates by fielding teams will result in penalties at each over, thereby increasing the urgency for them to maintain a swift pace of play. The utilisation of the Impact Player as a means to circumvent the restriction on the quantity of non-domestic athletes permitted to participate in a game is not a viable option for teams. In the event that a team has already included four foreign players, it is mandatory for the impact player to be of Indian nationality. In the event that a team possesses less than four foreign players, they possess the option to designate a foreigner as their impact player.

In the season’s first match, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) faced off, with both teams deploying an impact player. The match’s result was influenced by this decision, as GT emerged victorious by 5 wickets over the four-time champions CSK.

Virat Kohli breaks Chris Gayle's record for most Centuries in Indian Premier League
Hardik Pandya hugged Virat Kohli on scoring a century.

In the 2023 Indian Premier League match between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Gujarat Tigers, Virat Kohli surpassed Chris Gayle’s record of seven centuries with two successive centuries. Kohli scored 101 runs off 61 balls in RCB’s must-win game on Sunday.

With his seventh century in IPL play, Virat Kohli surpassed Chris Gayle’s previous record of six hundreds. Chris Gayle bows down to Virat Kohli after his 7th century.

Chris Gayle bows down to King Kohli after his 7th century.

Virat Kohli scored the second century of IPL 2023

This game is either do-or-die for RCB to earn their place in the playoffs. The Mumbai Indians will advance to the playoffs if Bangalore loses. Virat Kohli once again demonstrated his leadership qualities in the decisive match. Kohli hit four fours and a six to reach 101 runs off of 61 balls. Kohli has now set a new record with seven hundreds in IPL history, including two in this season alone.

In addition to Virat Kohli, captain Faf du Plessis contributed by smashing 28 runs off of 19 balls, including five fours. Michael Bracewell, batting in the middle of the order, scored 26 runs off of 16 balls, with the help of five fours. Anuj Rawat, a 23-year-old left-hander, smashed Mohit Sharma for a six and a four in the last over. With the help of one four and one six, he was able to score 15 runs off of 15 balls.

It will take 198 runs for the Gujarat Titans to win in 20 overs. The bright side for GT is that their overall point total won’t alter dramatically win or lose. He will continue to be at the head of the pack. If RCB loses this game, though, their chances of making the playoffs this year are gone for ever.

For RCB’s match against GT

  • Virat Kohli scored 101 runs (not out) off 61 balls.
  • Kohli scored his second consecutive century in IPL 2023.
  • Kohli now has more hundreds in IPL history than Gayle did, who had 6.

On Sunday, May 21, Virat Kohli became the first hitter in Indian Premier League history to smash seven hundreds. In a must-win encounter for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2023 against the Gujarat Titans at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Kohli smashed a 60-ball century, surpassing Chris Gayle’s record of six centuries.

After making a century against SunRisers Hyderabad on May 19, Virat Kohli made his second consecutive triple-digit score on Sunday. The M Chinnaswamy Stadium audience went wild when Virat Kohl­ scored his fourth hundred at the storied ground.

Virat Kohli reached his century in the penultimate over, but his celebrations were unexpectedly subdued. He had a greater task at hand, however, and that was to help Royal Challengers Bangalore post a large total.

In the stands in Bengaluru, Anushka Sharma blew Virat Kohli kisses while the entire RCB dugout stood to applaud his sensational performance. Some of the players even bowed down to Kohli, who was clearly the dominant force in Bengaluru.

Virat Kohli joined Shikhar Dhawan and Jos Buttler as the only other players with two consecutive hundreds in the IPL. Dhawan accomplished this in IPL 2020, whereas Buttler did it in 2019.

Most Century in IPL History

  • Virat Kohli – 7 in 237 matches
  • Chris Gayle – 6 in 142 matches
  • Jos Buttler – 5 in 96 matches

After the earlier Sunday victory by Mumbai Indians over SunRisers Hyderabad put them at 16 points, RCB needed nothing less than a victory, and Kohli delivered with a brilliant knock under real duress.

Hardik Pandya, who won the toss after play was delayed due to rain, put RCB in to bat.When Faf du Plessis took the strike, Kohli started cautiously, reaching 8 off 10 balls. The former skipper, however, got going and smashed three boundaries off of Yash Dayal’s left-arm pacer in one over.

Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Mahipal Lomror all fell to the spin of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad, and RCB seemed to lose their footing after a promising powerplay. But Kohli kept his cool and played a disciplined performance that kept the RCB innings together.

Most Sixes in IPL History by Players and Teams (2008 – 2023)

Most Sixes in IPL History by Players and Teams (2008 - 2023)

The Indian Premier League is a cricket competition that adheres to the T20 format and is recognized for its explosive innings and powerful batsmen. Following are the comprehensive compilation of players and teams that have hit the most sixes in the history of IPL spanning from 2008 to 2023.

The Indian Premier League is a T20 cricket championship that is conducted every year by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in a professional manner. The IPL is a cricket tournament that prioritizes entertainment and aggression, as opposed to the strategic and paced nature of ODI or Test cricket. Dot balls are infrequent in the IPL, as batters generally prioritize boundary hits.In cricket, boundaries are the source of the majority of runs and are necessary for thrilling innings.

Cricket has two distinct categories of boundaries:

Four, which occurs when the ball makes contact with the ground and exits the field, and Six, which occurs when the ball exits the field while still airborne.

Six boundary is the most volatile and elicits the strongest reactions from the audience. Numerically speaking, opting for a score of four is considered a conservative decision. However, a considerable number of batsmen exhibit a preference for attempting to hit sixes, even if it entails the possibility of being caught out. Several players in both IPL and worldwide have hit more sixes than fours throughout their careers. Today, an analysis is conducted on said players. Access the comprehensive record of players and teams who have hit the maximum number of sixes in the history of IPL spanning from 2008 to 2023.

Most Sixes in IPL History by a Player (2008-2023)

The individual who has achieved the highest number of sixes in the history of IPL is Chris Gayle. The probability of any other cricket player replicating his devastating batting prowess and approaching his remarkable feat of hitting 357 sixes is highly improbable.

The individual currently leading Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma, has amassed a total of 255 sixes and is anticipated to continue performing at a high level for several more years.

AB de Villiers ranks third with a total of 251 sixes.
