A Ruthless Onslaught
The Royal Challengers Bangalore were facing the Pune Warriors in a match that would go down in T20 history. Gayle started slowly, with just two runs from the first five balls he faced. But then, he flicked a switch, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Gayle’s first over was bowled by Ishwar Pandey, the highest wicket-taker in that year’s Ranji Trophy. But he didn’t stand a chance against the Jamaican’s onslaught, as Gayle smashed him for 21 runs, including two sixes and a four. Mitchell Marsh and Aaron Finch also tried their luck, but it was to no avail. Gayle hit them for 28 and 29 runs respectively, while Ali Murtaza was hit for 45 in just two overs.

A Devastating Defeat
After Gayle’s onslaught, there was only going to be one result in the match. The Warriors were left reeling and lost four wickets inside the first six overs of their chase. Their defeat was the second-biggest in terms of runs in the IPL’s six seasons.
Gayle’s century will go down in T20 history as one of the most dominant and ruthless innings ever played. It was a reminder of just how devastating he can be when he is at his best, and it cemented his place as one of the greatest T20 players of all time.
