In cricket, a batsman reaches a century when he scores 100 or more runs in a single innings. A century is regarded as a landmark score for a batsman, and his number of centuries is generally recorded in his career statistics.[1] The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in Bangladesh which has been held annually since its first season in 2012.[2] Though Following the match fixing scandal, the league was not played in the year 2014. It started again at year 2015, the third season of this tournament.[3] In the ten seasons played, thirty centuries have been made by twenty four different players.[4]

The first century in the BPL was scored in the first match on 10 February 2012 at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka by Chris Gayle for Barisal Burners against Sylhet Royals.[5] The highest score in the competition was made by Chris Gayle, who scored 146 runs not out for Rangpur Riders against Dhaka Dynamites.[6][7][8] The fastest century in terms of balls was scored by Chris Gayle, who scored 126 runs not out in 51 balls while playing for Ranhpur Riders.[4] The slowest century was scored by Dwayne Smith for Khulna Royal Bengal against Sylhet Royals.
