It’s raining centuries in IPL 2023. With 11 hundreds in the ongoing season, IPL 2023 holds the record for most centuries in a single season of the Indian Premier League. The record was held by the IPL 2022 edition (8) at the start of Sunday but the last day of the IPL 2023 league campaign witnessed three more centuries coming from the bat of Mumbai Indians’ Cameron Green, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Virat Kohli and Gujarat Titans’ Shubman Gill respectively to make the ongoing edition the season with most centuries.

After creating the IPL record, Kohli said that he is once again playing his “best T20 cricket”.
“I felt great. Lot of people think that my T20 cricket is declining, I don’t feel like that at all. I think I am playing my best T20 cricket again. I’m just enjoying myself. This is how I play T20 cricket, I look to hit gaps, hit a lot of boundaries and then the big ones towards the end if the situation allows me to,” Kohli said.
