IPL 2013 - Chris Gayle goes berserk!

[Archibald&Crooks]

Amazing stuff.

Chris Gayle just scored 175no facing 66 deliveries with his hundred coming in something stupid like 30 balls. He hit 17 sixes and 13 fours.

Highest ever individual T20 score and probably highest team score too at 263 for 5.

That is something that should only happen when playing on the xBox, mental.

The guy is an absolute beast, I remember seeing Napier hit 150 odd, didn't mccullum hit something similar?

 

[Sanj]

WOW - just wow.
he nearly scored a double century in a t20 game..... Unbelievable !!!

 

[UncleBuck]

just been on the BBC site to look at the scorecard, Jesus....
263-5 in 20 overs...i'll be happy if my team hits that in 45 overs this weekend!!!!

Hands up if you've hit a ton in a 20 over game

That genuinely is mental though.

mate, i've only ever hit one ton in thirty years! Gayle is just immense, I love the sir Viv attitude/nonchalance that comes with his play, a joy to watch!

 

[mpickard2087]

Fairplay to him, nearly scoring at my strike rate as well

Yep...

50 off 18 balls was my best effort to rival Gayle and even that doesn't get close!

 

[montylynch]

I struggle to get a ton over a season !!! Some monstrous hitting though, i caught a bit of it on the TV. No footwork to speak of, just sheer power and timing. The bat looked like a matchstick in his hands.

Was that the day someone told you the ball was Kyle Naughton?

Nah, I'm a strokemaker not a slogger...

That's not true.

Chris Gayle is West Indian. I am West Indian. I am Chris Gayle

 

[leonspurs]

To top it all off he got a couple of wickets, what a day to be Gayle.

 

[3Dnata]

I saw it the other day when he was playing defensively at just over a run a ball still won it with a six.
I missed this one though

Chris Gayle is West Indian. I am West Indian. I am Chris Gayle

By your logic, Chris Gayle is Jamaican. I am Jamaican. I am Chris Gayle.
Impressive match, Chris' footwork is limited but he has superb technique and immense strength.
