Chris Gayle (6 hundreds) is the only batsman in the history of the IPL to score more than 4 hundreds in the competition. But then, Virat Kohli scored 4 hundreds in a single edition of the IPL.

Kohli owned the 2016 edition of the IPL like a monarch. The master batsman scored an ethereal 4 hundreds in one season, and ended up scoring a colossal 973 runs in that edition.

The hundred that he scored against Kings XI Punjab where he batted on despite having stitches in his hand will go down as one of the greatest innings of the IPL. The dexterity in his stroke play and the command that he had proved that it was a master at work. This ethereal feat of Kohli will never be replicated again.

There have been just two batsmen who have scored over 150 runs in a single innings in the entire history of the IPL, but Gayle achieved that feat through fours and sixes alone.

Ad

During his epic 175 run knock against the Pune Warriors, Gayle plundered 17 sixes and 13 fours, and tore the PWI attack to shreds.

Out of the 175 runs he scored, a staggering 88% of his runs came through boundaries alone!

Now, in the entire history of the IPL, only two 150 plus scores have been recorded, and here is Gayle, who scored over 150 runs in boundaries alone. This absurd feat of Gayle will surely stand the test of time.
