Indian Premier League Records

IPL Stats: Season-wise Highest Individual Scores (From 2008 to 2025)

The unbeaten 175 scored by Chris Gayle in the 2013 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) against the Pune Warriors India franchise is the highest-ever individual score by a batter in any T20 game. Well, no other batter has come close to Gayle’s tally, but many have logged some highest scores in each IPL season. (You can find the top ten individual scores in IPL here.)

In 2016, Virat Kohli hit four centuries in a year, and Jos Buttler equaled that record in 2022.

This article will, however, let you know the highest individual scores scored in every season of the IPL held so far.

Key Insights

The batting in IPL is getting better and easier every season, and you can understand that by looking at the year-wise sixes and century numbers in IPL.

Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers have cracked the season-wise highest-scorer tag twice in the tournament; all instances while playing for RCB.

Adding that to Manish Pandey’s 114* against Deccan Chargers in 2009, RCB players are placed most times in the above list.

Only Gayle and Brendon McCullum have thus far scored above 150 knocks in the IPL. Quinton de Kock came close to joining the club but fell short of 10 runs in 2022.
