West Indian top-order batter Chris Gayle holds the records for scoring the fastest century (100 runs off 30 balls) and the highest individual score (175 runs not out off 66 balls) in the Indian Premier League. Gayle achieved both feats while playing for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a match against Pune Warriors India in 2013. Both records are unmatched across various major Twenty20 franchise cricket competitions.
