3. Chris Gayle (Windies)
When we are talking about the fastest innings, Chris Gayle always comes in the top list even his age number shows 39-plus. In his long 20 years career, Gayle has achieved spectacular successes. His aggressive batting always becomes a nightmare for the opposition side.
In recently concluded IPL 2019, he performed very well as he finished as the sixth most run-scorer in that tournament (490 runs in 13 innings). His strike-rate was very impressive in that tournament, which was 153.60. Among the four half-centuries in IPL 2019, his highest innings was 99*.
If Gayle gets a firing start in the early powerplay, the Caribbean can slam a new fastest ODI century in this Cricket World Cup.
