The Indian Premier League 2022 has started with a bang, we have seen some close encounters in the tournament so far. Jos Buttler scored the first century of the IPL 2022 against Mumbai Indians. After 10 league games of IPL 2022, Rajasthan Royals are at the top.
We have seen some top individual performances in the history of the IPL. Brendon McCullum gave the league an astonishing start in 2008, and over the years, the level of cricket in the IPL has only gone upwards. When McCullum scored that knock, it was difficult to imagine someone breaking that record, but Chris Gayle did something unimaginable in 2013.
Highest score in IPL history
On 24 April 2013, Chris Gayle broke all sorts of records in T20 cricket. He smashed 175* against Pune Warriors at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. This is still the highest score in the history of T20 cricket. He smashed his century in just 30 balls, the fastest in the history of T20 cricket. Gayle smashed a record 17 sixes during the process.
