3 batsmen with the most hundreds in IPL history

#1 Chris Gayle

Chris Gayle has scored six hundreds in IPL cricket.

Taking the top spot is West Indian batting legend, Chris Gayle. When Gayle is on song, no boundary appears big, and his belligerent hitting makes him a nightmare for the opposition. Gayle has played 125 matches in the IPL, scoring 4484 runs at a whopping strike rate of 151.02. Gayle has also scored six hundreds in IPL cricket, and he scored them for two different teams.

Gayle scored his first IPL hundred in the year 2011 against the Kolkata Knight Riders. His 102*, coming off just 55 balls helped his side overhaul a challenging target of 172 with nine wickets to spare. Gayle scored another hundred in the same edition against Kings XI Punjab. In an innings studded with 10 fours and 9 sixes, Gayle’s assault blew away the opposition, paving the way for RCB to thrash the Punjab outfit by 85 runs.

Gayle scored a solitary hundred in the 2012 edition of the IPL. Opening the batting, the Jamaican blasted a whirlwind 128 off just 62 balls, propelling his side to a 21-run win over the Delhi Daredevils. Gayle’s only hundred of the 2013 edition is widely considered as the greatest knock in IPL history. The ‘Universe Boss’ scored a breath-taking 175 off just 66 balls, shattering records galore during his knock. It was the fastest IPL hundred in history, the highest individual score in the competition’s history, and it was also the first time a batsman had scored over 150 runs in fours and sixes alone.

Gayle’s fifth hundred of the competition came in the year 2015 against Kings XI Punjab. In an innings studded with 12 sixes, Gayle pummeled the Punjab bowling attack and paved the way for RCB to crush their opposition by 138 runs. His final hundred in IPL cricket came in the year 2018. Playing for the Kings XI Punjab, Gayle blasted as many as 11 sixes and scored a sensational 104 for his side.
