In their seventh IPL match, RCB opted for three major changes, but unfortunately, it didn’t translate into success during the first innings.
The opening duo of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head wreaked havoc on RCB’s bowlers, amassing 76 runs within the powerplay.
Head’s momentum carried him to his maiden IPL century, punctuated by a celebratory homage to Chris Gayle. Head’s charge towards the century was highlighted by consecutive fours off the first two balls of the 12th over.
He swiftly approached the hundred-run milestone, dispatching Vyshak Vijaykumar’s full-pitched delivery towards the leg side boundary.

Achieving his century in a mere 39 balls, Head secured the fourth-fastest century in IPL history. His celebration, reminiscent of Chris Gayle’s iconic helmet removal and bat handle placement, ignited a storm on Twitter.
