#8 Chris Gayle- 70 balls

On a batting friendly WACA wicket in 2009, Australia slammed 520 runs without any batsman scoring a hundred. West Indies' response to this mountain of runs wasn't just exciting but sensational as well.
Chris Gayle, who is known for his power-hitting in the shorter format of the game, proved his mettle against the red ball and stripped Australian bowlers of their glories by scoring a 70-ball hundred.
In the second Test, Gayle had displayed his patience by scoring a calm knock of 165 but at Perth, he exhibited his range and power. He was especially severe against anything that was pitched up and with his strong arms, deposited the ball in the stands in a nonchalant fashion.
His attack failed to get any support from his team-mates and West Indies lost the match by 35 runs.
