Full List of IPL Hundreds: Every 100 Scored in Indian Premier League History – News18

After Brendon McCullum opened the Indian Premier League in the best possible manner with a whirlwind 158* – the first IPL century – in the first-ever match of the IPL in Bengaluru on 18th April, 2008, it has taken 1090 further IPL matches for the league to reach the 100 centuries mark, when Gujarat Titans’ Sai Sudarshan reached his ton vs Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on 10th May, 2008. In the same match the 101st century of the league was also registered by Sudarshan’s GT skipper Shubman Gill. Virat Kohli, the all-time leading run-getter in the league’s history had, a day prior, come close to hitting the 100th century in IPL, but got out for 92 vs Punjab Kings. It would have been fitting if the King had gotten to the mark. And even more if the ‘Crown Prince’ could, but that honour now belongs to Tamil Nadu’s B Sai Sudarshan.

While Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Brendon McCullum was the first ever IPL centurion, Manish Pandey was the Centurion in 2009.
