The 19th edition of the Indian Premier League has officially entered the record books, not just for its massive totals, but for an unprecedented feat of batting consistency across the board. While the season saw a barrage of 200-plus scores and impossible chases, the true milestone was reached when Royal Challengers Bengaluru legend Virat Kohli crossed the triple-digit mark.

With Kohli’s century, IPL 2026 became the first season in history where at least one player from every single one of the 10 competing teams scored a century.

The Kohli Catalyst: Completing the Set

In a high-stakes encounter against Kolkata Knight Riders, Virat Kohli notched his 9th IPL century, leading RCB to a dominant victory. While the knock added to his personal legendary tally, its broader significance was historical: it was the final piece of the puzzle, ensuring that every team's jersey was represented in the century-makers' list this year.

A Trail of Centuries: Who Scored for Whom?

The "Century Storm" of 2026 was diverse, featuring seasoned veterans, international stars, and record-breaking teenagers. Here is how the 10-team milestone was achieved:

• Chennai Super Kings: The trend began with Sanju Samson, who showed incredible form by smashing two centuries for the Men in Yellow.

• Mumbai Indians: The five-time champions saw a trio of centurions, with Quinton de Kock, Tilak Varma, and Ryan Rickelton all crossing the 100-run mark.

• Rajasthan Royals: 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi made history as the youngest centurion in IPL history, bludgeoning a 36-ball hundred.

• Gujarat Titans: Sai Sudharshan continued his rise as a top-tier talent with a clinical century.

• Sunrisers Hyderabad: Power-hitter Abhishek Sharma represented the Orange Army in the century club.

• Lucknow Super Giants: Though their playoff dreams were cut short, Mitchell Marsh left his mark with a ton.

• Delhi Capitals: Captain KL Rahul led from the front for the Capitals, securing their spot on this list.

• Punjab Kings: Cooper Connolly delivered a standout performance to bring the Kings into the record books.

A High-Octane Season

The sheer volume of centuries reflects the evolving nature of the T20 game in 2026. With improved batting tracks and a "no-fear" approach from youngsters like Suryavanshi, the league has moved from occasional individual brilliance to a standard where a century is expected in almost every high-scoring clash.
