IPL 2026 has officially entered the history books, and for all the right reasons. For the first time in the tournament's 19-year history, every single one of the 10 franchises has produced at least one centurion this season. From teenage sensations like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to seasoned legends like Virat Kohli and Quinton de Kock, batters across the league have been in sensational form, lighting up stadiums with three-figure knocks. It's a batting bonanza that has redefined what's possible in the world's biggest T20 league.
The milestone was sealed when Virat Kohli smashed his 9th IPL century for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Kolkata Knight Riders in Raipur. But he wasn't alone—this season has been a showcase of depth and talent, with every dugout contributing a century-maker. Let's break down the players who have made this historic achievement possible.
Chennai Super Kings: Sanju Samson
Samson kicked off the century party this season with an unbeaten 115 against Delhi Capitals at Chepauk—his fourth IPL ton. He wasn't done there, though. Against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians, he added another unbeaten 101, proving once again why he's one of the most explosive batters in the game.
Mumbai Indians: Quinton de Kock, Tilak Varma, and Ryan Rickelton
Even though MI find themselves near the bottom of the table, their batting lineup has been on fire. De Kock announced his return with a stunning unbeaten 112 off 60 balls against Punjab Kings. Tilak Varma followed up with a rapid 45-ball 101 against Gujarat Titans. And then came Ryan Rickelton, who smashed the fastest IPL century for MI—reaching three figures in just 44 balls, finishing with 123 off 55 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli
The chase master himself. Kohli's match-winning 105 off 60 balls against KKR not only sealed the win but also ensured every team in IPL 2026 now has a centurion. It was vintage Kohli—calm, calculated, and absolutely clinical.
Delhi Capitals: (Kiwi opener)
The New Zealand opener played a gem of an innings, scoring an unbeaten 100 off just 47 balls against DC, chasing down a target of 143 with ease. It was a masterclass in controlled aggression.
Lucknow Super Giants: Mitchell Marsh
Marsh made a statement with the fastest century in LSG's IPL history—a breathtaking 49-ball ton against RCB. He finished with 111 off 56 deliveries, reminding everyone of his destructive power.
Punjab Kings: (Young Australian)
Against SRH, this young Australian star lit up the stadium with a brilliant 107 off 59 balls. Not only did he score his maiden IPL century, but he also became the youngest overseas player to achieve the feat in tournament history.
Other Teams: The list doesn't stop there. From teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to other emerging talents, IPL 2026 has been a celebration of batting excellence. Every franchise has its hero, and that's what makes this season truly unforgettable.
Whether you're a fan of classic elegance or modern-day power-hitting, this season has had it all. And for those of us who love the game—and the gear that makes it possible—this is the kind of history that inspires every cricketer to pick up a bat and dream big.
