Gilchrist slammed 10 sixes and nine fours in a cavalier unbeaten knock of 109 to power Deccan Chargers of Hyderabad to a 10-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians and break their duck in the IPL here on Sunday.
The left-handed Gilchrist looked in splendid form and carted the bowlers all around the park to delight the crowd of 55,000 at DY Patil Stadium while powering his way to a record-setting 42-ball 100. He remained unbeaten on 109 after facing 48 balls to hold complete sway over the home attack.
At the other end was captain VVS Laxman, with an attractive 37 not out as the duo piloted their team to their first win in four ties. Chargers achieved the target of 155 without any loss in only 12 overs.
The blitzkrieg by the wicketkeeper-batsman, who bettered his teammate Andrew Symonds' 47-ball hundred against Rajasthan Royals, helped Hyderabad romp home.
