IPL: Statistical Analysis of the first 50 IPL centuries

Ground wise distribution of IPL centuries

Where have the IPL centuries been scored?

As many as 14 IPL venues have seen batsmen going past the three-figure mark. Interestingly, Kingsmead in Durban and Supersport Park in Centurion are the only two non-Indian grounds to have seen this unfolding.

UAE, which hosted the first leg of IPL 2014, did not see any case of a batsman breaching the three-figure mark. Among Indian stadiums, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore is a clear standout as far as centuries scored is concerned.

The short boundaries and a higher altitude that assists the ball in traveling longer distances, apart from a batting friendly pitch are all favorable factors that justify RCB's home venue accounting for more than 20% of IPL's hundreds.

PCA Stadium, Mohali is next in line with 7 followed by Chepauk and Wankhede with 5 each.
