Chris Gayle smashes 18 sixes, shatters many records in Bangladesh Premier League

Chris Gayle loves T20 cricket. He also love hitting big sixes and smashing some records along the way. The West Indies batsman on Tuesday shattered some record as he scored an unbeaten 146 off just 69 balls for Rangpur Riders in the Bangladesh Premier League final against Dhaka Dynamites in Dhaka.

Gayle became the first batsman to cross the 11000 run mark in T20 cricket. He also became the first batsman to hit 20 hundreds in T20s. The knock included 18 towering sixes setting another world record, the most sixes in an innings in the format. In the process, Gayle became the first batsman to hit 100 sixes in BPL. His sixes count in T20 cricket reached whopping figure of 819. 

Gayle, who got a life when he was dropped by Shakib Al Hasan on 22, shared an unbeaten 201-run stand with McCullum - a highest partnership in T20 final - to power Rangpur Riders to 206/1.
