## User Question

> What is the highest individual score in IPL history?

## Correct Answer Pattern

> **[Chris Gayle](https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/ch-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](https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/ch-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](https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/ch-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](https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/ch-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.)*
