The IPL has witnessed some of the greatest batting innings but none has seen like Chris Gayle, a former West Indies batsman unbeaten 175 not out runs.
In 2013, Chris Gayle who played for the Bangalore franchise RCB slammed a century of 175 runs in just 66 ball deliveries against Pune Warriors.
Chris Gayle has the highest individual score in IPL of 175* runs with a 265.15 strike rate including 17 sixes and 13 fours at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore.
Ten years have passed and none could ever reach that giant highest individual score of Chris Gayle.
New Zealand’s Brandon McCullam is the second-highest individual scorer in the IPL with 158* runs. Brandon bagged not-out 158 runs for Kolkata Knight Riders against Royal Challengers Banglore in the 2008 IPL season.
The third, position is held by the South African batter Quinton de Kock who scored 140* runs for the Lucknow Super Giants against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2022 IPL season.
Kl Rahul is the only Indian cricketer who made a place for himself in the top five highest individual scorers in the IPL. KL Rahul scored 132* runs for Panjab Kings against RCB in the 2020 IPL season.
Apart from KL Rahul, Shubman Gill (129 runs for Gujarat Titans), Rishab Pant (128* for Delhi Daredevils), and Murli Vijay (127 runs for Chennai Super Kings) are the only Indian cricketers in the top 10 highest individual scorers in the IPL list.
