    On This Day in 2013: Chris Gayle Smashed the Greatest T20 Innings in History – 175 Off 66 Balls

    On this day in 2013: Gayle Storm struck at Chinnaswamy

    Chris Gayle is a name that every cricket fan knows, especially when it comes to T20 cricket. His impact on the game is undeniable. He’s known for hitting some incredible shots and making the game exciting. One of his most unforgettable performances happened during the 2013 Indian Premier League, where he was playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Gayle went absolutely wild in a match against the Pune Warriors India, smashing an insane 175 runs without being out, off just 66 balls. 

    What makes this innings even more remarkable is that he reached his hundred in only 30 balls, setting the record for the fastest century in T20 cricket that still stands over a decade later. It’s hard to imagine how he managed to hit 13 fours and a jaw-dropping 17 sixes during his innings. All of this took place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on April 23, 2013, and it was a true display of power hitting.

    Thanks to Gayle’s explosive batting, RCB set a new milestone by being the first team to score over 250 runs in a T20 match, finishing their innings at a whopping 263 runs for five wickets after 20 overs. He opened the batting alongside the famous Sri Lankan player Tillakaratne Dilshan, who contributed 33 runs before getting out. Virat Kohli, another cricket superstar, didn’t have much luck that day and was dismissed for just 11 runs. Then came AB de Villiers, who showcased some impressive hitting himself, scoring 31 runs, including three fours and three sixes. But honestly, Gayle’s power hitting completely stole the show.

    By the time Gayle had made his half-century, he had only faced 17 balls, and it was clear that he was in a zone of his own. The Pune Warriors’ chase didn’t start off well at all. Robin Uthappa got out for a duck in the first over, and his partner Aaron Finch managed to score just 18 runs before heading back to the dugout. Yuvraj Singh, who came in at number three, managed to score only 16 runs before being dismissed by Jaydev Unadkat.

    Steve Smith tried to hold things together for Pune as he walked in to bat after Luke Wright was out. He was the top scorer for his team that day, making 41 runs. Mitchell Marsh raised a bit of hope with his 24 runs, and Mithun Manhas added a mere 11 runs to their total. 

    After such a devastating innings with the bat, Gayle didn’t stop there; he also stepped up as a bowler. He took two important wickets, conceding just five runs in one of his overs. In the end, Pune lost by a massive margin of 130 runs, which showcased just how dominant Gayle and RCB were that day. It was truly a match to remember, not just for the records but for the thrilling cricket on display.
