It isn’t a shocker for anyone to find out that the opening batsmen have scored the most of the IPL centuries.
Out of the total IPL centuries, only 25 percent have been notched up by batsmen other than openers.
The table below illustrates the distribution of IPL centuries by batting positions:
| Position | 100s | Highest Score |
|---|---|---|
| Opener | 82 | Chris Gayle (175*) |
| No. 3 | 20 | AB de Villiers (133*) |
| No. 4 | 5 | Rishabh Pant (128*) |
| No. 5 | 3 | Ben Stokes (103*) |
| Total | 110 | Chris Gayle (175*) |
Virat Kohli holds the record for scoring the most centuries in the IPL.
The 2024 edition, which was a high-scoring affair, saw the most centuries registered in a single IPL season.
AB de Villiers’ unbeaten 133 against MI in 2015 remains the highest individual score by any batter against the Mumbai Indians.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have notched up the most hundreds in the league.
So far, there have been 11 cricketers who have contributed century-plus scores for two different IPL franchises.
