Most Hundreds in IPL History: Jos Buttler and KL Rahul close in on leader in IPL 2022

New Delhi, May 4: Only eight batsmen in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) have slammed three or more centuries in their IPL career. Hence, slamming a ton has never been an easy feat to achieve.

Former West Indies batting legend in white-ball format Chris Gayle is the one who has slammed the most hundreds in the IPL. The left-handed batter who has played for Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings has slammed six centuries in the cash-rich league.

Gayle is followed by his former RCB teammate and India batting great Virat Kohli. Kohli - who has been playing for the RCB since 2008 - has slammed five centuries in his IPL career and all those tons.

Senior Australia opener David Warner is third on the list with four centuries. Three of Warner's tons have come playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad while one came for Delhi Daredevils, now Delhi Capitals.

Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson - who is also hailed as one of the all-time IPL greats - has also slammed four tons in the IPL.

Chris Gayle has slammed 6 IPL centuries, Virat Kohli has 5

India's star batsman KL Rahul is next on the list with four centuries in the tournament and he's closely followed by England opener Jos Buttler who has also slammed four tons. Three of Buttler's four centuries have come in IPL 2022.

Former South Africa batting great AB de Villiers has slammed three centuries in the IPL while Rajasthan Royals' captain Sanju Samson has also notched up three tons in his IPL career so far.
