10 Most Devastating Batting Performances In Cricket World Cup History

3. Chris Gayle: 215 Versus Zimbabwe, 2015

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01PJgsgI6u0 Chris Gayle made his mark on the 2015 tournament by smashing the highest score in the competition's history versus Zimbabwe at Canberra. Gayle - who could well have been dismissed LBW for a duck after a close review - launched 16 sixes in his 147 ball stay as he simply demolished the Zimbabwean bowling attack with one of his typical displays of power-hitting and clean ball striking. Supported by 133* from the cool yet destructive Marlon Samuels, the Windies posted 372-2 which proved to be more than enough to dispose of the men from Africa who reached a fighting 289 from their rain-effected innings of 48 overs.
