Chris Gayle (RCB Legend)

Chris Gayle's 175* in 2013 — the highest individual IPL score, hit in just 66 balls with 17 sixes — is the most extraordinary batting performance in T20 franchise history. His partnership with Virat Kohli at RCB produced match-winning partnerships that defined the tournament's batting evolution.

Rajat Patidar (Middle Order)

Rajat Patidar's 112* in the 2022 IPL eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants announced him as a future star — his aggressive, technically sound batting at No.4 provides the bridge between RCB's powerplay scoring and death-over acceleration that their previous lineups lacked.
