Melbourne : Chris Gayle Equals The Record Of Yuvraj Singh (England in Durban in 2007) For Scoring The Fastest Half Century In Just 12 Balls In A T20 Format. Gayle was opening the batting for the Melbourne Renegades in their pivotal match with the Adelaide Strikers in Melbourne, with the hosts needing to chase down their opponents' total of 170 in just 16 overs to achieve the run rate required for a place in the tournament finals.
The assault continued in the third over, Gayle taking 22 from Ben Laughlin to take himself to 44 from 11 deliveries. The first ball of the third over was the moment when Gayle hit Travis Head for his seventh six of the innings and completed his half-century in just 12 balls. This terrific feat today equalized the epic Yuvraj Singh knock from the 2007 T20 World Cup against England.
Gayle has amassed an unparalleled 8,623 runs from 233 Twenty20 matches at an average in excess of 43 and a strike rate approaching 150.
The left-hander was out a short time later for 56 from 17, Travis Head claiming his third wicket to put his side in a strong position in the contest. Gayle is representing his third Australian domestic T20 side, having enjoyed stints with Western Australia and the Sydney Thunder before signing with the Renegades. Watch video Here :
