For any batter, smashing a century in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" title=" Indian Premier League " target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Indian Premier League </strong></a>(IPL) becomes one of the most memorable moments in his cricketing career. In the last 15 years, IPL supporters have witnessed a lot of centuries. Back in 2008, when the inaugural edition of the league was played, Brendon McCullum hit a fabulous century in the opening game against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

Over the years, some rapid tons have been scored from batters in the IPL such as Chris Gayle, Yusuf Pathan, David Miller, Adam Gilchrist, and AB de Villiers among others. While on the other side, there have also been some batters who have also racked up hundreds at a gradual pace in the tournament.&nbsp;
