It’s been a day
of records in the history of IPL where Chris Gayle (RCB) holds most of it. In the
Royal Challengers Bangalore - Pune Warriors India IPL clash, Gayle's fireworks
will be remembered by cricket fans for long time. With his stunning shots, RCB scored the
highest T20 score - 263 for five wickets in their 20 overs. "It was one of
those days. I got a good total. I can't say it's a decent total - it's a good
total. All I had for breakfast this morning was a plain omelet, two pancakes
and a hot chocolate." Gayle said after his brutal innings.
Fastest Century
in T20:
Chris Gayle's 30-ball
century is fastest ever in IPL. Chris Gayle set a new record for the
fastest century in professional cricket by reaching 100 off 30 balls. He scored
175 not out in just 66 balls with 17 sixes and 13 boundaries. He beats
the previous 34-ball ton Twenty20 league record set by Australia's Andrew
Symonds. South African Richard Levi
holds the record for fastest international T20 hundred in 45 balls against New
Zealand in 2011 at Hamilton. Pakistan's
Shahid Afridi holds the record of fastest century in ODI (37 balls) while Viv
Richards holds the record of fastest ton (56 balls) in Test history.
