He has garnered an oodles of 239 runs in the Kennington Oval, London averaging upto 47. With a strike rate close to 150, Gayle has struck the fourth highest number of fours in the list.

He has taken 16 innings to garner his 245 runs in the Dubai International cricket stadium and he has collected those many runs at a rather unimpressive strike rate of 106. Nevertheless his 245 runs land him in the 7th spot in the list. He also only averages 18 with the bat in the venue. 6. Shane Watson – Premadasa Stadium, Colombo – 249 runs: Shane Watson.
