Records have always broken left right and centre when Chris Gayle has batted in the India Premier League. One historic record that Gayle holds in IPL is the unusual 37 runs he scored in IPL 2011 against Kochi Tuskers. The unfortunate bowler was young left-arm pacer Prasanth Parameswaran of Kochi Tuskers Kerala for 37 runs.

Usually, a batsman can only score a maximum of 36 runs in an over. However, a no-ball from Parameswaran allowed Gayle to face an extra ball which he made full use of. In that single over Gayle hit 4 sixes and 3 fours and forever etches his name in the history books by scoring 37 runs in a single over.
