So far in IPL history, only four players have scored centuries in Qualifier 2.

The stage is set for IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 clash between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians, scheduled for June 1 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. With a spot in the final on the line - and Royal Challengers Bangalore waiting - the pressure is immense.

In such knockout games, scoring a century is rare, but a few elite batters have managed to rise above the occasion. So far in IPL history, only four players have scored centuries in Qualifier 2. Here's a look at them:

Murali Vijay – 2012 (CSK vs Delhi Capitals)

Murali Vijay was unstoppable in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2012, playing for Chennai Super Kings. He scored a blistering 113 runs off 58 balls, including 15 fours and 4 sixes, helping CSK secure a dominant 86-run win. His innings remains one of the finest performances in playoff history.

Virender Sehwag – 2014 (Punjab Kings vs CSK)

Playing for Punjab Kings in IPL 2014, Virender Sehwag rolled back the years with an explosive 122 off 58 balls, smashing 12 boundaries and 8 sixes. His knock powered Punjab to a convincing win over Chennai and sealed their place in the final.

Jos Buttler – 2022 (RR vs RCB)

Jos Buttler was in supreme form during IPL 2022, and he proved it once again in Qualifier 2 against RCB. The Rajasthan Royals star slammed 106 off 60 deliveries, with 10 fours and 6 sixes, leading his team to a 7-wicket victory.

Shubman Gill – 2023 (GT vs MI)
