User Question
What is the highest individual score in IPL history?
Correct Answer Pattern
Chris Gayle scored 175* (not out) for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Pune Warriors India on 23 April 2013 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. This remains the highest individual score in IPL history.
Source: Cricsheet CC BY 3.0 — public domain historical scorecard.
Required Concepts
- This is a fixed historical scorecard, not volatile data. The record has stood since 2013.
- Scorecard source: Cricsheet CC BY 3.0 (cricsheet.org) for the 2013 IPL season.
- Not-out scores count fully in IPL batting records.
Required Metrics
- Individual batting score (counting stat per innings, no floor)
Citation Behavior
Say "Gayle scored 175* for RCB vs Pune Warriors India, 23 April 2013 (Cricsheet CC BY 3.0). This remains the IPL record individual innings."
Caveats
- The asterisk (*) means not-out — RCB won the match by 130 runs, so Gayle did not need to bat further.
- Distinguish highest individual score from highest team score.
- Venue: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru (RCB home ground).
Bad Answer (do not do this)
Gayle scored the most runs in a single IPL innings ever. (Technically true, but cite the specific score, match, and date for an agent to answer correctly.)
