The pugnacious southpaw Gayle had smashed 104 runs off just 63 balls to help Kings Punjab put a massive score of 193 runs against SRH.

Gayle scored 70 runs in, as he doesn’t show much interest in running between the wickets.
It is noted that some people argue the long sixes should give more runs to the batsman.

Gayle was roped in by the Punjab franchise in the final stages of the Indian Premier League auctions. In the two matches that he has played thus far in the season, the power-hitter has bagged two Man of the Match awards.
Chris Gayle took his time in the initial stage of the innings. The aggressive batsman catapulted his attack once he was settled at the crease. The left-hander smashed Rashid Khan who is SRH’s best spinner for four consecutive sixes in one of the over.
