The T20 format, known for its high-octane action and quick scoring, often sees batters aiming for swift runs, making the prospect of reaching a three-digit score a challenging feat. 

Scoring a century in the Indian Premier League (IPL) not only requires skill and concentration but also the ability to perform under immense pressure, as the league features some of the best bowlers in the game.

Despite the challenging nature of the format, a select group of batters have managed to reach the 100-run mark multiple times. These players have not only mastered the art of T20 batting but have also shown incredible consistency in replicating their success over multiple seasons.

Let’s take a look at the batters with the most centuries in IPL history.
