1. Chris Gayle – 175 Runs
Chris Gayle is one of the finest and most feared batsmen in world cricket. He is arguably the greatest match-winner in T20 cricket. He has produced many breathtaking innings over the years. This man can hit sixes at a will.
He produced one of the finest innings in T20 cricket against the Pune Warriors India in the 2013 edition of IPL. He single-handedly tormented the bowling attack of the Pune Warriors. Coming to bat at top of the order, on the Bangalore wicket which was tailor-made for the batters Gayle scored 175 of just 66 balls with 17 sixes and 13 fours at a strike rate of 265.15.
He made a mockery of bowlers in that innings. RCB posted a mammoth total of 263 runs and they eventually won the game by a big margin of 130 runs. Gayle was the second-highest run-getter in that season with 708 runs.
