I have to admit I'm not a big fan of T20 cricket. I see its benefits in the game, but I much prefer test and ODI's on an international level. Therefore it will be not surprise that I won't be posting much on the IPL 54 day extravaganza going on at the moment.
However due to current events I have to make an exception to this. The reason, two words: Chris Gayle.
175* off 66 balls
13 fours
17 sixes
265.15 strike rate
88% of runs in boundaries
Took 30 balls to reach 100
This staggering innings shattered many records including highest T20 score, quickest century (30 deliveries), most sixes hit in an innings (17 and 21-team) and the highest team T20 score (263/5).
I don't think any words can really sum this up, so I'll just let you watch the video below and see for yourselves.
(I recognise that this is not my video; it comes from the IPL Youtube Channel (Indiatimes)
I encourage those of you who are passionate about the IPL to have a look at their YouTube channel
