Gayle scored the half-century in just 12 deliveries and equaled the record of the fastest half-century in T10 history. Waseem Muhammad of Northern Warriors also hit a 12-ball fifty yesterday. Mohammad Shahzad too had scored a half-century in 12 deliveries for Rajputs in the 2018 edition.
The 41-year-old was having a poor outing in the ongoing tournament. He had failed to reach the double-digits in any of the last four matches before this knock. His scores were 4 (vs Gladiators), 5 (vs Qalandars), 9 (vs Pune Devils), and 2 (vs Warriors).
Gayle looked very determined to get runs in this match after back-to-back failures. A smile came on his face only after completing the task and he was happy to get his touch back.
