List of Lanka Premier League centuries

The Lanka Premier League (LPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league, which is operated by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). It is contested between five franchises comprising cricketers from Sri Lanka and around the world.

A century is regarded as a landmark score for a batsman, achieved when he scores 100 or more runs in a single innings. His number of centuries is generally recorded in his career statistics.

The first century in the history of the Lanka Premier League was scored by Laurie Evans for Colombo Kings in the inaugural edition of the LPL on 10 December 2020.[1] The highest scorer in the tournament was Pathum Nissanka, who scored 119 runs for Jaffna Kings against Kandy Falcons. The fastest century in terms of balls was scored by Rilee Rossouw, who scored an unbeaten 108 off 50 balls for Jaffna Kings against Colombo Strikers.[2][3] The slowest century was scored by Andre Fletcher, for Kandy Falcons, reaching this milestone in 66 deliveries while his final score was 102 runs not out in 67 deliveries.

The highest number of centuries have been scored by Rilee Rossouw with two centuries. Till date, 10 centuries have been scored by 9 different batsmen, out of which 4 are Sri Lankan players and 5 are overseas players.
