Winning the toss and electing to field first is a no-brainer in Bengaluru. But, on one fateful evening that would be a decision that Pune Warriors India would regret.

After winning the toss and electing to field, little did they expect that a storm was about hit Bangalore. Chris Gayle who opened the batting with Dilshan was in a six-hitting mood. He started off slow as usual, but slowly started to pick up pace.

In an innings that included 13 fours and 17 sixes, Chris Gayle finally broke McCullum’s record of 158 runs set in 2008. He also hit 5 sixes in an over from Ali Murtaza. None of the bowlers had any answer for him. This was the highest individual score ever in T20 cricket.

This record-breaking innings helped his team reach 263/5 in 20 overs which is the highest total in IPL history. Needless to say, this record isn’t going to broken any time soon.
