Chris Gayle

CRICKET-SRI-IND
Suresh Raina

This is one record which might stand unbroken even longer than any of Chris Gayle's records - a bowling record, which is surprisingly held by an Indian batsman and part-time bowler Suresh Raina.

It is also the world record for the best strike rate by a bowler in a T20 Innings which Raina shares with Hasan Raza of Pakistan and Dwayne Bravo of the West Indies.

In a match against the Rajasthan Royals on May 9th, 2011, in Jaipur, Raina took the wickets of Amit Singh and the Rajasthan Royals captain, Shane Warne, in just three balls without giving a run to return figures of 0.3-0-0-2, giving him a strike rate of 1.5.

In IPL 2018 so far, Nitish Rana holds the best bowling strike rate in an innings of 3.0 by getting two wickets for eleven runs in an over.
