IPL 2026 Leaderboard: Highest Individual Scores This Season So Far

The IPL 2026 season has been a absolute paradise for batters, with record-breaking totals and individual brilliance becoming the norm. While some established stars have struggled, several young Indian talents have stepped up to dismantle world-class bowling attacks. Leading the charge is Sunrisers Hyderabad's opening sensation, Abhishek Sharma, who recently rewrote the history books at the Uppal Stadium.

Highest Individual Scores in IPL 2026: The Top 5

1. Abhishek Sharma (135* vs Delhi Capitals)

Abhishek Sharma has silenced his critics in the most emphatic way possible. After a challenging international stint, the SRH opener returned to his home ground in Hyderabad to unleash absolute mayhem. Against a shell-shocked Delhi Capitals, Abhishek reached his fifty in just 25 balls and accelerated even further to complete his second IPL century in just 47 deliveries. His unbeaten 135, laced with 10 boundaries and 10 towering sixes, stands as the highest individual score of the IPL 2026 season so far. It wasn't just about the runs; it was the clinical precision with which he picked apart the DC pacers that left the fans in awe.

2. Sanju Samson (115* vs Delhi Capitals)

Sanju Samson once again proved why he is one of the most aesthetically pleasing yet destructive batters in the league. Playing for Chennai Super Kings this season, Samson found his touch against the Capitals after a lean start to the campaign. While wickets tumbled at the other end, Samson anchored the innings before shifting into fifth gear. His 115* off 56 balls featured 15 boundaries and 4 sixes, showcasing his ability to find gaps with surgical precision. This remains the second-highest score of the season and served as a masterclass in controlled aggression.

3. Quinton de Kock (112* vs Punjab Kings)

Stepping into the Mumbai Indians side as a replacement for the injured Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock made an immediate impact. In his very first game of the 2026 season, the veteran South African opener played the role of a lone warrior. Chasing a competitive total against Punjab Kings, de Kock hammered his third IPL century, finishing on 112* off 60 balls. His innings allowed MI to post a formidable 195, proving that the left-hander still has plenty of match winning performances left in him.

4. Tilak Varma (101* vs Gujarat Titans)

Tilak Varma’s century against the Gujarat Titans was a story of redemption. After failing to cross the thirty-run mark in his previous four outings, the MI southpaw chose a crucial game to find his rhythm. He dismantled the GT attack with a 45 ball century, which included a staggering 82 runs in his final 23 deliveries. This knock was the joint-fastest IPL century by a Mumbai Indians player and single-handedly carried his team to a victory that seemed improbable at the halfway mark.

5. Priyansh Arya (93 vs Lucknow Super Giants)

The only non-centurion in this elite list, Priyansh Arya’s 93 was perhaps the most explosive knock of the lot. The Punjab Kings opener missed out on a well-deserved hundred by just seven runs, but his 37-ball cameo was pure T20 violence. Striking at a rate of 251, Arya smashed 9 sixes and 4 fours, helping PBKS post a season high 254/7. His ability to hit through the line against high-quality spin has made him one of the most exciting young prospects to watch out for as the tournament enters its business end.

Which of these knocks do you think was the most impactful? Will Abhishek Sharma's record of 135* be broken before the final?
