A Record-Breaking Score in Cricket Chris Gayle put up a record-breaking score of 175 not out Tuesday in the Indian Premier League, beating the highest previous score in Twenty20 cricket of 158. He struck 17 sixes, cricket's equivalent of a home run, equaling the record, and raced to 100 runs from only 30 balls, the fastest ever. In the process he propelled his team, Bangalore, to 263 runs, also a Twenty20 record. I've played cricket for 20 years and never seen anything like it," his teammate Muttiah Muralitharan said.
