Of the 22 centuries Gayle currently has in the format, none have been as savagely archetypal as his unbeaten 175 off 66 balls that evening. It took him 13 more deliveries to turn 50 into 100, brought up with a six off Ashok Dinda just before the first strategic time-out at the end of nine overs. Ninety-eight of those first 102 runs came off boundaries - eight fours and 11 sixes.
