Chris Gayle scored 175 off 66 deliveries against Pune Warriors India

While RCB were at the receiving end of both the previous knocks, it was an RCB batsman who registered the highest individual score in an IPL match. 'Universe Boss' Chris Gayle blazed his way to a sensational knock of 175 off just 66 deliveries against the now defunct Pune Warriors India.

Batting first, Royal Challengers Bangalore scored 263 in their 20 overs thanks to the unbelievable knock from Gayle. It was raining sixes at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, as the Jamaican smashed 17 sixes with utmost ease.

Gayle belted 45 off two overs from Ali Murtaza, which included 5 sixes. It was absolute carnage on display and there was no way out for Pune. They eventually scored 133, handing RCB a huge victory.
