Chris Gayle was playing on 38(18) when he tried to hit a six off Ravindra Jadeja's delivery. McCullum dived to his right and took a one-handed catch.
The field umpire consulted the third umpire and in slow motion it was noticed that after taking the catch the Kiwi star's hat touched the boundary line by a whisker. Thus, Gayle was given not out and a six was awarded to him.
Here is the video of Brendon Mccullum's catch:

It was a fabulous effort from the 35-year-old former New Zealand international who literally flew in the air to take a stunning catch.
Chris Gayle was finally dismissed by Basil Thampi for 77 runs in the 13th over. The West Indian scripted history tonight as he became the first cricketer in the planet to complete 10,000 runs in T20 cricket.
