Only two Indian batsmen have scored more than five centuries in the IPL.

Scoring a century in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is always a memorable moment for every player. While some batters have reached the milestone once, a few have scored multiple centuries, solidifying their place among the greatest players in the tournament’s history.

Jos Buttler has scored seven centuries, while West Indies icon Chris Gayle has racked up six, helping them take the top positions on the overall list. However, many Indian players have also impressed the cricketing world with their fighting spirit and determination.

Thus, without any further ado, let’s take a look at the top 5 Indian batsmen with the most centuries in IPL so far.
