Centuries Scored against LSG
Only three batters have scored a century against Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL so far. Rajat Patidar was the first, and Shreyas Iyer was the latest with his unbeaten 101 in IPL 2026.
| Player | Score | Team | Venue | Season |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rajat Patidar | 112 not out | Royal Challengers Bengaluru | Eden Gardens | 2022 |
| Ruturaj Gaikwad | 108 not out | Chennai Super Kings | Chennai | 2024 |
| Shreyas Iyer | 101 not out | Punjab Kings | Lucknow | 2026 |
Patidar scored his century in the 2022 Eliminator, a playoff match, which made it even more special. Gaikwad became the first Chennai Super Kings captain to score an IPL century with his 108 not out in 2024. Iyer smashed 101 not out off 51 balls in May 2026 as Punjab Kings chased down 197 at Lucknow with 7 wickets in hand.
Record History
Faf du Plessis was the first batter to cross 200 runs against LSG, reaching the mark in 2023. He scored 96 against them in 2022 and stayed near the top of the list for a long time. Sanju Samson was the next batter to pass 200 runs, doing so in 2024.
Shubman Gill moved past Faf in IPL 2026. Before the match on 12 April 2026, Gill had 271 runs against LSG in 7 innings. His 56 off 40 balls at Lucknow took him to 327 runs and to the top of the list. That knock also took him past 4000 IPL runs, making him the youngest batter to reach that mark.
Shreyas Iyer closed the gap in May 2026. He scored only 5 against LSG in April 2026, but his unbeaten 101 at Lucknow in May took his total to 320 runs, just 7 runs behind Gill. With only 7 runs between first and second place, this record could change hands in the next season.
Other batters have also made big jumps in recent seasons. Prabhsimran Singh scored 91 against LSG in 2025 and 69 in 2026. Rohit Sharma scored 84 against them at Wankhede in May 2026. Rinku Singh scored an unbeaten 83 at Lucknow in April 2026. You can see the biggest single knocks against this team in our list of highest individual scores against LSG.
What This Record Tells Us
Gill leads this list because he has been steady against LSG across five seasons, scoring four half centuries in 8 innings. His average of 54.50 shows that he rarely fails against them. Shreyas Iyer has an even better average of 64.00, and his strike rate of 157.63 is the best among the top five.
The list also shows how fast some batters score against Lucknow. Rajat Patidar strikes at 192.85 against them, the best rate in the top 10. Prabhsimran Singh and Rinku Singh both strike at more than 178, which shows that Lucknow bowlers have struggled to slow down aggressive openers and finishers.
Only three centuries in five seasons show that Lucknow are hard to dominate fully. Most batters on this list score through steady fifties rather than one huge knock. The team with the most success against LSG bowlers has been the one that keeps wickets in hand and attacks in the last few overs.
