Chris Gayle: 
The destructive West Indies opener is key to the Caribbean team’s two WT20 triumph in 2012 and 2016. Gayle is the first batsman who notched up a hundred in T20I cricket. In 2007 inaugural WT20 in South Africa, Gayle hit 55 balls 117 against South Africa which has taken the world by storm. Gayle after that played many innings which left the world wondering how this Jamaica man hit monstrous six . For Gayle, the speed of bowler don’t a matter, only things he has to do is to connect the ball well and all the job will be done. Gayle is a very lazy batsman, but that is his survival skill at the crease to parked the bowler with disdain.
