Chris Gayle is currently the only batter with over 10,000 runs in T20 cricket, speaking volumes about him. The West Indies batsman has passed 40 and though he isn’t on top of his powers, he is still a feared prospect around the world. In the T20 World Cups, Gayle has hammered 920 runs in 28 matches.

Most importantly, the veteran Jamaican maintained a handsome strike-rate of 146.73. In 2007, he became the first batter to smash a century in T20Is, achieving the feat against South Africa at the Wanderers in Johannesburg, though it came in a losing cause.

In 2016, he churned out a 57-ball 117 against England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In 2010, he also got a 98 versus India in Barbados. They have been very few instances when Gayle strained to find his feet.
