West Indies batsman Chris Gayle is one of the most destructive batsmen especially when it comes to the shortest format of the game. Gayle has scored over 11000 runs in T20 format--most by any player. The hard-hitter also holds the record of the highest individual score in the Indian Premier League. He hammered 175 while playing for Royal Challengers Banglaore against Pune Warriors India. Gayle has been a consistent performer for the franchise side that he has played for. He has scored 5 hundreds in the Indian Premier League. While he has been an aggressive and ruthless batsman, Chris Gayle is also a handy customer when it comes to bowling. The off-spinner has the ability to pick wickets. He has been a part of Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore in earlier editions of the cash-rich league. In 2018 edition of the Indian Premier league, Gayle will be a part of Kings XI Punjab.
