6 instances when Chris Gayle went berserk

4. West Indies vs South Africa, Johannesburg 2015 (90 runs from 41 balls):

Chris Gayle during the record run chase against South Africa in Johannesburg

A T20 world record was set when West Indies chased down the highest ever T20 against South Africa in their own backyard.

The Proteas scored a healthy 231 with the help of Faf Du Plessis’ ton, who scored 119 from 56 balls. But when you have Chris Gayle as our opposition, the game is far from over.

Scoring with a strike rate of 219.51, he hit 90 runs from just 41 deliveries. The entertaining performance was accompanied by 9 fours and 7 maximums.

Gayle and Marlon Samuels had put up a 152 run partnership for the second wicket from just 71 balls and guided them to victory a 4 wicket with equal number of balls to spare.
