"The secret behind those sixes was good balance and it helps to have a pitch where the ball comes up to the bat. Hope I continue like this in the tournament," Gayle, who hit an unbeaten 128 with the help of 13 sixes and seven fours in his 62-ball knock, said.
Asked about any particular change in his batting, he said he decided not to move around much.
"It's natural, trying not to move around. A couple of innings have me moving around which did not help. Thanks to Virat Kohli for his support at the other end," he said.
He also said that he wanted to preserve his wicket and stay longer for the sake of the team.
"Maiden over is okay, as long as I am there till the end. If I stay longer it helps to get the runs for the team, " he added.
Reminded that the world record maximum number of sixes in a Twenty20 match is 16, Gayle joked, "Somebody should have told me that and I should have gone for it."
