5 Best knocks by Gautam Gambhir in the IPL

#1 93 vs Royal Challengers Bangalore – 2012 (Kolkata)

This 93 is Gautam Gambhir’s highest score in his IPL career. Not only IPL, but this was Gambhir’s highest T20 score of his career.

After losing the first couple of games of the 2012 season, KKR had a great run. In the 8th game of the season against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), KKR won the toss and batted first.

Brendon McCullum struggled to get going but Gambhir from the other end played the role of the aggressor as he maintained the tempo of the innings. He overshadowed McCullum in the 95-run opening partnership as Gambhir kept going fluently. Barring Daniel Vettori, all the RCB bowlers were taken for runs. Gambhir struck an excellent 93 in 51 balls which included 9 fours and 5 sixes as he helped KKR get to an above-par total of 190.

He might have missed out on a ton but his 93 set up the game. Chasing a huge score, no RCB batsman supported Chris Gayle who scored 86 as KKR romped home with a 47-run win.
