The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League is at its peak, and fans are witnessing some incredible performances from teams and players. Some big records already got broken in the IPL 2024, and RCB’s 263, which was the previous highest IPL total, has been broken twice. However, one thing that is still to happen in the tournament is a century.
A total of 12 centuries were scored in 2023, but so far in 2024, no batter has scored a hundred. A few batters reached nearby, but no one completed it. Sunil Narine recorded the highest score of 85 runs against DC on Wednesday. So here we will talk about three batters who can score the first century of the IPL 2024.
3. Sunil Narine (Kolkata Knight Riders)
Sunil Narine is back at the top, and he is firing. Gautam Gambhir returned to KKR, and he has slotted Narine at the top. The all-rounder has shown great form. He registered his highest IPL score of 85 off just 39 balls against DC in Vizag. He was pretty close to reaching the first century of the tournament but got out. However, one thing is clear: Narine is going to play in the same manner, and with the form he is in, he might get a triple-figure very soon.
2. Travis Head (Travis Head)
Travis Head is another candidate who can reach a century in IPL 2024 in no time. The SRH opener slammed an 18-ball fifty on his debut and is looking to play in an ultra-aggressive manner. He will fail sometimes, but one thing is sure: if he starts connecting, he will race to a century pretty soon.
1. Rachin Ravindra (Chennai Super Kings)
Just like Narine and Head, there is another left-handed opener who is playing in an aggressive manner, and he is none other than Rachin Ravindra. The CSK opener has scored 85 runs so far at a strike rate of 180.85 and has given his team some good starts. He is in great form and is coming off a good international season. He can be the one who hits the first hundred of the IPL 2024.
