Any hitter who gets onto the field has a big dream to smash a hundred for his team. However, because there is so little time to reach the milestone in T20 cricket, we hardly ever see players score hundreds. This is also true of the IPL, the most well-known T20 league in the world. We will talk about the players who have scored the most hundreds in the tournament thus far.
