There have been a staggering 65 centuries in IPL history, with some of them downright outrageous by the biggest hitters on the planet.
From Chris Gayle’s record-breaking 175 not out in 2013, to some of our own Australian stars going past three figures, it’s a feat which is extremely difficult to achieve in the shortest form of the sport.
Gayle himself holds the record for the most IPL centuries with six, meaning he has scored just over one out of every 11 centuries in T20 cricket’s richest competition.
Indian captain - although recently standing down from that job in the shortest form of the game - sits second with five centuries, while Australian duo, retired all-rounder Shane Watson and opening batsman David Warner round out the podium, the duo tied on four centuries.
But what are the best of the best when it comes to centuries? The game-winning performances which fans all around the world still go back and watch to this day?
Here is our top-five countdown.
4. Yusuf Pathan, 2010
The only century on this list to come in a losing effort, Pathan's 2010 effort to try and get the Rajasthan Royals over the line chasing 212 against the Mumbai Indians is still the highest strike rate century in IPL history.
A record which hasn't been beaten, and is unlikely to ever be beaten, Pathan's effort saw him monster 100 exactly from just 37 balls at a strike rate of 270.27, with nine fours and eight sixes to boot. That's a boundary almost every two balls.
He was eventually run out with the score at 5 for 173 from 17.1 overs, and while it would have been an uphill battle anyway to score the remaining 40 runs from 17 balls, Pathan's form suggested it could have been done.
Rajagopal Sathish wore the brunt of the destruction, going for 51 runs fro his three overs, while Sanath Jayasuria's single over went for 19.
