In T20 cricket, scoring a half-century is a big thing, but if a batsman scores a century, then that innings is amazing. So far, 8 batsmen have scored a total of 9 centuries in IPL 2026. The first century of IPL 2026 was scored by Sanju Samson and the latest century came from the bat of Mumbai Indians batsman Ryan Rickleton. The centuries scored so far in IPL 2026 seem to be played by the left hand. Hey, don’t be surprised, actually 6 out of 8 batsmen who scored centuries this season bat with their left hand. Let us tell you how the dominance of left-handed batsmen is visible in IPL 2026.
Left handed game to score century in IPL 2026
So far in IPL 2026, 6 out of 9 centuries have been scored by left-handed batsmen. The first century among left-handed batsmen was scored by Quinton De Kock. This player had scored this century against Punjab Kings. Apart from De Kock, Sai Sudarshan, Tilak Verma, Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Ryan Rickleton are also left-handed batsmen who have scored centuries.
Amazing work of left handed batsmen
Let us tell you that these left-handed batsmen have performed amazingly so far. Left-handed batsman Abhishek Sharma has scored the maximum 425 runs in the tournament. He has also hit 31 sixes. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has scored 400 runs and this player has hit 37 sixes. Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudarshan has scored 322 runs. It is clear that whether it is the race for the Orange Cap or the race for the batsmen who hit the most sixes, only left-handed batsmen are seen in all of them. However, among the right-handed batsmen, batsmen like Virat Kohli, Heinrich Klaasen, KL Rahul and Sanju Samson have also given tough competition. Now it remains to be seen whether this time the orange cap goes to the right-handed batsman or the left.
Amazing performance of right handed players in bowling

There is a tough competition in the race for Purple Cap between Ehsaan Malinga, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Joffra Archer, Anshul Kamboj.
