Here is a list of the top five leading IPL run scorers who do not have a century to their name.
Most Runs in IPL without Century
| PLAYER | RUNS | INNINGS | 50+ SCORES | HIGH SCORE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MS Dhoni | 5243 | 229 | 24 | 84* |
| Robin Uthappa | 4952 | 197 | 27 | 88 |
| Dinesh Karthik | 4842 | 234 | 22 | 97* |
| Faf du Plessis | 4571 | 138 | 37 | 96 |
| Gautam Gambhir | 4217 | 152 | 36 | 93 |
| Kieron Pollard | 3412 | 171 | 16 | 87* |
| Shreyas Iyer | 3127 | 115 | 21 | 96 |
| Ravindra Jadeja | 2959 | 184 | 3 | 62* |
| Parthiv Patel | 2848 | 137 | 13 | 81 |
| Glenn Maxwell | 2771 | 129 | 18 | 95 |
Seeing Faf du Plessis on this list gives a shock because he has played most of his IPL career as an opening batsman, and this is not what you would expect.
The former Kolkata Knight Riders captain, Gautam Gambhir, has also found a place on this list, as he used to bat at number three for Kolkata Knight Riders during his captaincy tenure. Additionally, he is the player who has scored the most fifties in the IPL for anyone who has not scored a century in the tournament since its inception.
It’s Dinesh Karthik, the Indian wicketkeeper/batsman who has remained not-out on 97 against RR for KKR in 2019. In spite of the fact that he would have lost a slight chance of being included in the list of the fastest ten IPL centuries, DK played a sublime innings to lead his team to a total that was above the average.
Moreover, DK has also taken part in the most number of innings without registering an IPL century in his career.
