Chris Gayle:
The devastating West Indian has been an integral part of RCB and has won them matches single-handedly on many occasions. Gayle had a silent start to the IPL with KKR before he made a move to RCB in 2011 which changed his IPL fortunes completely. In 2012, he scored 733 runs to win the Orange Cap. The following season was marked by the blistering 175 he hammered against Pune Warriors, an innings that included five sixes off five deliveries. So far in his IPL career, 92 matches and has amassed 3426 runs at a strike rate of 153.28.
