Over the years, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen a flurry of records being set and broken season after season. One among them is the number of centuries scored in an IPL edition.

100: Shubman Gill’s ton against CSK on May 10, 2024, was the 100th instance of a batter reaching a hundred in the league. The IPL became only the second T20 tournament after England’s T20 Blast to record 100+ centuries.
Four centuries scored by Virat Kohli and Jos Buttler are the most in a single IPL season among individual batters. Both batters notched up four hundreds, with Kohli doing it first in 2016 and Buttler levelling the record in 2022.
6: The inaugural IPL season in 2008 recorded the first instance of five or more centuries being scored.
Two centuries were recorded in the 2009 IPL season, played in South Africa. This is the lowest number of hundreds scored in a single season.
During the same season, Manish Pandey brought up the slowest hundred in the league, taking 67 balls to reach the 100-run mark against Deccan Chargers. Later, in 2024, Virat Kohli equalled the record by taking the same number of balls for his century against Rajasthan Royals.
