In the Indian Premier League, hitting a century is a difficult feat despite the league’s high-scoring format (IPL). A batsman merely needs to maintain striking at a rate higher than 150 for the majority of the 20-over innings to have a chance of achieving the three-figure threshold.
In the IPL, how many hundreds have been recorded?
Furthermore, middle-order batsmen will typically not have enough time to achieve a ton. This accomplishment has been accomplished 86 times in 16 seasons of the IPL.
In the IPL, who scored the first century?
Brendon McCullum, a batsman for the Kolkata Knight Riders at the time, struck the first-ever century in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the league’s first match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). With a knock of 158*(73), his team amassed 222 runs, a total that they successfully defended.
Which player in the IPL has scored the most number of centuries?
Over the 16 seasons of the competition since then, numerous batters have amassed hundreds of runs. Having scored more than 100 runs seven times, former Indian captain Virat Kohli has amassed the most hundreds in the IPL. “Universe Boss” Chris Gayle, who has already scored six hundreds, comes after him.
Gayle scored six hundreds, but his 2013 performance of 175*(66) against Pune Warriors India for RCB stands out as the most memorable. With 13 fours and 17 sixes, the West Indies batsman smashed every ball out of the park, leaving no bowler behind. It is also the highest score a batsman has ever achieved in an IPL game. Jos Buttler is in hot pursuit of Gayle and Kohli after he has hit five hundreds during his IPL career.
