Key Insights – A Breakdown of Team-wise Fastest IPL Centuries
Apart from the 12 teams mentioned above, three more teams — the Pune Warriors, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, and Gujarat Lions — participated in the IPL. However, no batter scored a century for them in the league.
Chris Gayle holds the unassailable record for scoring the fastest century in the IPL. The mighty Caribbean batter brought up his hundred off a mere 30 balls while playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (now Bengaluru) in 2013. Eventually, Gayle ended up with an unbeaten 175 in 66 balls, which is the highest individual score in the IPL.
Likewise, RCB also has the slowest hundreds in the league. Manish Pandey (vs Deccan Chargers, 2009) and Virat Kohli (vs Rajasthan Royals, 2024) completed their three-figure marks in 67 balls.
