A towering figure in the league’s history, Gayle represented Bengaluru in 92 matches, amassing 3,420 runs. His explosive batting included an iconic unbeaten 175, still the highest individual score in IPL history, along with five centuries and 21 half-centuries.

Beyond his RCB legacy, Gayle remains the undisputed king of six-hitting in the IPL. Across 142 matches, he hammered a record-breaking 357 sixes, unmatched by any player in the tournament’s history.

He also represented Punjab in 41 matches between 2018 and 2021. During his stint with PBKS, the left-hander scored 1,339 runs at an average of 36.19 and a strike rate of 143.21, including one century and 10 half-centuries. His best score for Punjab was an unbeaten 104.

RCB have qualified for the Indian Premier League final three times in the past, 2009, 2011, and 2016, losing on all three occasions. PBKS, formerly known as Kings XI Punjab, reached the final once in 2014 but were defeated by Kolkata Knight Riders.
