Chris Gayle was unstoppable in the game against Pune as he went on to break several T20 records. The Gayle storm blew so hard that the visiting Pune team had no answers whatsoever and ended up being mere spectators while the devastation lasted for the entire 20 overs.
The first stage of the spectacular hitting show saw the West Indian register the joint fasted fifty in the Indian T20 League, by reaching the half-century off just 17 balls.

With this, he registered the quickest ever hundred in the Indian T20 League, surpassing Yusuf Pathan's 37 ball hundred against Mumbai.
