CH Gayle is on the threshold of creating three new records in T20 games
He needs 20 more runs for 9000 runs in Twenty20 games. He has an aggregate of 8980 runs. If he gets 20 more runs, he would then become the first batsman ever in the history of Twenty20 games to total 9000 runs.
Another record he is eyeing in T20 games is most boundary fours. He has scored 695 boundary fours and require five more which would fetch him 700 boundary fours. If he gets them, he would then become the first batsmen ever to score 700 boundary fours in the history of Twenty20 games.
He has already scored 650 boundary sixes in T20 games. If he gets 700 boundary fours, he would then become the only batsman in the history of T20 games to score 700 boundary fours and 650 boundary sixes. His T20 record as on date and prior to the start of the next game of IPL between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Daredevils at Raipur on 22.05.16 read thus
