IPL Records: Centuries In Consecutive IPL Innings

Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the best competitions in the T20 cricket world. While the tournament has completed 15 years, very few players have recorded centuries in two consecutive IPL innings.

IPL has multiple times experienced consecutive fifties, including three players’ tournament records of five consecutive IPL fifties. 

However, to date, IPL has seen two consecutive centuries only four times. Out of four different players in this list, three of them were Indians, and only one player was a foreigner.  

Players to hit two consecutive IPL centuries

Serving for Delhi Capitals, Indian left-handed batter Shikhar Dhawan first recorded centuries in two consecutive IPL innings during IPL 2020.

In IPL 2022, English cricketer Jos Buttler smashed two successive IPL centuries for Rajasthan Royals.

Later, during the same game of the IPL 2023 (RCB vs GT at Bengaluru on 21 May 2023), Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Virat Kohli and Gujarat Titans’ Shubman Gill both completed two consecutive IPL centuries.
