1. 102 (55)* Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, 2011
After being overlooked by Kolkata Knight Riders at the auctions, Gayle fired a blistering century against his former team, and took his side to a comfortable win. In his knock of 102, Gayle struck 10 fours and seven sixes. Chasing 172, Gayle formed a 123-run partnership with Tilakaratne Dishan for the opening wicket. RCB won the match with nine wickets to spare.

3. 128 (62)* Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Daredevils at Feroz Shah Kotla, 2012

4. 175 (66)* Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Pune Warriors at Chinnaswamy Stadium 2013

His unbeaten 175 is the highest score till date. He hit 17 sixes and 13 fours in his innings. Gayle’s knock powered RCB to 263, and they registered a 130-run win.
5. 117 (57) Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kings XI Punjab at Chinnaswamy Stadium, 2015
This ton took some time coming. Not in the best of shape, Gayle scored 117 runs to take RCB to 226. What is interesting is that this was his second century against KXIP, at the same venue and same day. In reply, Punjab could only score 88 runs, 29 runs short of Gayle’s score.
6. 104 (63) Kings XI Punjab vs Sunrisers Hyderabad at IS Bindra Stadium, 2018

In his next match against Sunrisers, he followed it up with a ton, and took his team to a victory against a formidable opposition.
