West Indies superstar Chris Gayle is one of the most dangerous batsmen in the cricket world. As an opener, Gayle has achieved huge success in every format by incredibly maintaining his aggressive batting that dashes any kind of bowling side. In T20 cricket, Gayle is the boss as he is the most run-scorer in this format (13296 runs in 404 matches) along with the holder of many prestigious batting records.

In IPL career, Gayle is the second most run-scorer among the overseas batsmen as the left-handed batsman has scored 4484 runs in 125 matches (average 41.13; strike-rate 151.02). He scored six centuries and 28 fifties in the IPL career. He was the second most run-scorer for KXIP in the last two seasons. If Gayle manages to perform consistently in the IPL 2020, he can be among the top run-scorers in the tournament.
