| 1,000 hit sixes : Chris Gayle |
The bold, free-scoring West Indies batsman, 41, is the main player to gather in excess of 13,000 T20 runs in minimal more than 400 matches.
Chris Gayle may have passed up one more Twenty20 ton on Friday when he was excused for 99 yet he composed his name into the set of history books when he turned into the principal player to crush 1,000 T20 sixes. The dauntless, free-scoring West Indies batsman, 41, is the main player to gather in excess of 13,000 T20 runs in minimal more than 400 matches.
Typically an initial batsman, Gayle strolled in with the Kings XI Punjab one-down and crushed 99 off 63 balls with eight sixes, which took his count to 1,001 sixes. "1,000 maximums - another record? Gracious man," Gayle revealed to Star Sports. "I simply need to offer gratitude for hitting it well at age 41. A great deal of devotion and difficult work has paid off throughout the long term. Still here, as yet doing it, same way. Grateful."
Gayle's T20 mastery is underlined by the way that the following best six-hitting batsman is countryman Kieron Pollard, who has cleared the limit ropes multiple times in more than 450 innings.
