Chris Gayle gave a chance early in his innings, but Wriddhiman Saha grassed the opportunity. There was no stopping Gayle thereafter: he walloped the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowlers en route a blistering 104* for Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). This was Gayle’s 21st T20 century. In terms of T20 hundreds, Gayle is miles ahead of anyone else. To provide some perspective, he has thrice as many hundreds as anyone else in T20 cricket: Michael Klinger, Luke Wright, and Brendon McCullum jointly occupy second spot with 7 hundreds each. Here is a complete list of Gayle’s 21 T20 hundreds.

Do note that Gayle did not have a hundred between 2007 and 2011, but took off thereafter. The deluge that started in 2011 keeps continuing.

Over half of Gayle’s 21 hundreds (11) have come in two tournaments — IPL and BPL. He clearly loves this part of the world.
