Thanks to the Kiwi superstar Brendon McCullum, the Indian Premier League kicked off in 2008 in the most destructive manner possible.
That year, 5 more batsmen crossed the 100-runs mark taking the centuries tally to 6, the third-most joint with 2011, 2012, 2019, & 2022.
The maximum number of centuries scored in a season is 11 during the 2023 season. It is followed by the 2016 season; surprisingly, Virat Kohli contributed 4 to those 7. Find out Virat’s year by year IPL stats here.
