5 highest individual scores in IPL history

#1 Chris Gayle (175* vs Pune Warriors, 2013)

There was no stopping Chris Gayle

It wouldn’t be wrong in hailing the Caribbean giant Chris Gayle as the undisputed king of the Indian Premier League. He is a superstar when it comes to the IPL. Gayle is a household name, he has been a nightmare for many bowlers. Bowling to him when on-song is what every bowler fears of. And during the 31^st match of 2013 edition against Pune Warriors in Bangalore, the opponent bowlers merely had any idea of what is going to strike them during the course of 20 overs.

Gayle hammered PWI bowlers all over the ground and recorded the finest performance with the bat in T20 cricket across the globe with his unbeaten 175 off 66 deliveries. Gayle scored 13 boundaries and 17 sixes to wreak havoc at the Chinnaswamy.

RCB posted 263 runs on the board, which is also the highest innings total for any team till date and won the game by a massive margin of 130 runs. Such was the impact of Gayle’s miraculous innings that his counterpart, Yuvraj Singh, bowed to him for playing an innings of a lifetime.
