The old KL Rahul is back in form as the batter slammed his first century of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season against a quality Gujarat Titans bowling attack. After spending considerable amount of time in the middle order, KL was promoted at the top and he didn't disappoint.
The DC opener smashed a 60-ball hundred and this was his 5th hundred in the league as he took DC to a competitive total in a must-win clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. With KL Rahul reaching the three-figures mark, here is a list of players with most IPL centuries.

RCB star opener, Virat Kohli sits at the top of the list with 8 centuries to his name. His last ton came against RR last season. Jos Buttler, the former RR and now GT batter has 7 centuries, but he has attained the milestone in just 119 innings.
Chris Gayle occupies the third spot with 6 centuries to his name (for RCB and PBKS). Shubman Gill, the GT captain is at the fifth position, but interestingly, apart from Gill, there are others who have scored 4 IPL tons, but he achieved the target in fewer innings and hence sits at the fifth spot.
KL Rahul's ton propels DC to 199/3
KL Rahul opened with Faf du Plessis and the Proteas batter departed cheaply. KL then stitched crucial partnerships with Abishek Porel, Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs as the team reached a strong total. KL remained unbeaten at 112 off 65 balls, which included 14 fours and 4 sixes.
