#1 Chris Gayle: 66-ball 175 for RCB vs PW, IPL 2013

Chris Gayle

When you think of foreign batsmen who have had a massive impact during the last 10 years of the IPL, Chris Gayle is one name you certainly cannot ignore. He is one of the most feared batsmen in T20 cricket and his ability to hit big sixes is unmatched. He has had enjoyed tremendous success in the IPL with 3626 runs at an average of 41.2.

The night of April 23, 2013, when RCB took on Pune will be etched in every IPL fan's memory. It was the day when Gayle went berserk and hit a 66-ball knock of 175*. Just to put things in perspective, IPL teams have struggled to post such a score after batting for 20 overs.

During his knock of 175, he hit 13 fours and 17 sixes. Along the way, he posted the fastest T20 century which came off just 30 balls. He also took two wickets during the match as RCB won the match comfortably.
