All-time Best T20 XI

T20 cricket has been a rage ever since it debuted in 2003 in England. However, the fame and influence of the T20 format got huge propulsion from the T20 World Cup in 2007 and then the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008. Since then, there has been no stopping the 20-over format anywhere in the world. 

The crazy success of the IPL also gave growth to T20 leagues across the world and players got an alternate way of making money and gaining huge success in cricket, to play it professionally and gain profit from it as well. Many players have become legends thanks to them adapting to the format early on and a few ruled the world of T20 cricket.

Here is the all-time best T20 XI:

1. Chris Gayle

No T20 XI can be complete without the ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle. He adapted his game to the T20 format early on and went on to achieve crazy success in white-ball cricket. His power game of stand and deliver, complimented by a good batting technique made him a huge asset to any team in the T20 circuit. 

His numbers only justify as he played in perhaps all the leagues in his time, clocking 463 games in total including T20Is for West Indies. He has 14562 runs with a record 22 centuries and 88 fifties. He also owns the record for the highest individual score of 175* and for most sixes in 1056. Such sensational records mean that Gayle will remain the face of T20 cricket forever.
