Key Insights
Shikhar Dhawan became the first-ever batter to slam consecutive centuries in IPL history. The left-hand batter scored 2 hundreds for the Delhi Capitals in back-to-back matches in 2020. Dhawan’s 2 centuries were part of his streak of 4 fifty-plus scores.
3: Dhawan was overall the third Indian to achieve this feat after Unmukt Chand (2013) and Ishan Kishan (2019), both of whom notched up successive tons in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Tournament.
The 2023 IPL season saw 2 batters smash consecutive centuries — Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill. Both batters notched up their first hundreds against Hyderabad, while their second tons came in the same match between RCB and GT.
Shubman’s 101 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad was his maiden hundred in the T20 league. He followed that up with 2 more tons, making the second-most hundreds in a single IPL season (3).
