Gayle’s willow only cost Bhuvneshwar Kumar 8 runs in his first three overs of bowling, but the other bowlers were the ones who were most heavily impacted. As RCB reached 62 for no loss after the first six overs of the power play, the Jamaican needed just 17 deliveries to achieve his fifty. The Pune bowlers were in no position to rest even after the power play was over, and the ball had been distributed over the entire field. In just 30 deliveries, Gayle reached his century with a powerful six off Ashok Dinda’s bowling. In addition, RCB maintains the record for the fourth-largest victory margin in IPL history. In the 2015 IPL, the Bangalore squad defeated Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) by 138 runs, demonstrating this.
