Bengaluru, April 13: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batsman Chris Gayle achieved another milestone in Indian Premier League (IPL), at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium tonight.

SRH opted to bowl first and in the opening over of the match, Gayle hit New Zealand left-arm paceman Trent Boult straight down the ground, over the sight-screen, for his milestone six in his 70th game. However, it was the only six for him today as he was out for 21 off 16 balls.

The left-hander is the first batsman in IPL history to record 200 sixes. The second in the list is far behind with 134 - Suresh Raina of Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

In the ongoing 8th edition of IPL, Gayle started off at his usual best, blazing to a 56-ball 96 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday (April 11) at the Eden Gardens. The 35-year-old hit 7 sixes against KKR and RCB won by 3 wickets.
