1. Chris Gayle (138 balls)

Chris Gayle has set the score card on fire when West Indies took on Zimbabwe in the group stage. The player broke the record for highest score in world cup history (later broken by Martin Guptill ) and also registered the best ODI partnership in entire cricket history.
The Jamaican had scored 10 fours and 16 sixes in his innings of 215 from 147 balls as West Indies went on to win the match comprehensively.
