IPL: 7 Major records RCB team holds without winning the trophy
Royal Challengers Bangalore has shattered many records despite not lifting the trophy for a single time.
4. Most centuries by a team (15)
RCB batters have managed to smash the most, 15, centuries in the history of the league. Gayle and Kohli both have slammed five centuries each while de Villiers struck two tons during his illustrious IPL career. Manish Pandey, Devdutt Padikkal, and Rajat Patidar all have one hundred each for RCB.
Playing in his first match ever for the franchise, Gayle hammered 102* off 55 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Kolkata in the year 2011. He then went on to hit four more for the franchise to become a solid crowd favorite at the Chinnaswamy stadium. Kohli’s four centuries came all in one remarkable season of 2016 and his fifth and last ton was against KKR in 2019.
De Villiers scored one in the 2015 season against Mumbai Indians (MI) and the other in the 2016 edition against GL. Pandey was the first player to open an account for RCB. His innings of 114* off 73 came against Deccan Chargers in 2009. Padikkal’s knock was the second-last ton for the franchise which came against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in 2021 and Rajat Patidar became the latest entrant in this list for his ton against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in 2022.
