Profile

A pushing Jamaican left-hander, Gayle earned himself a dark imprint on his first senior visit - to England in 2000 - where the new young men were felt to be inadequately aware of their older folks. In any case, an absence of admiration, for resistance bowlers at any rate, has served Gayle well from that point forward. Tall and forcing at the wrinkle, he adores to cut through the spreads off either foot, and can annihilate the figures of even the thriftiest of opening bowlers. What's more, in this time of Twenty20 cricket, Gayle is the batsman who has flourished like no other.

Among his numerous qualities, maybe the greatest one is his extraordinary dexterity, which permits Gayle to consistently hit even great length conveyances for limits. Method and footwork aren't his most prominent resources, however regularly he remunerates with different aptitudes. No batsman has taken to the 20-over arrangement like he has. He hinted at early his smashing so as to love for that organization the primary century in Twenty20 internationals - a 57-ball 117 against South Africa in the World Twenty20 in 2007 - and when Twenty20 alliances mushroomed the world over and looked for global stars, Gayle was the greatest recipient.

More than two seasons - 2011 and 2012 - of the IPL, he turned out to be effectively the most dreaded batsman of the alliance, crushing a bigger number of hundreds and sixes than some other batsman, by a long shot. When he trucked Pune Warriors everywhere throughout the ground to score an unbeaten 175 in IPL 2013, it felt right that he ought to at long last claim the record for most astounding individual score, quickest century, and most sixes in a Twenty20 innings, in light of the fact that no batsman has commanded Twenty20 cricket like he has.

Gayle's free-stroking, forceful style is clearly most appropriate for restricted overs cricket, yet that doesn't mean he hasn't cut it as a Test batsman. When he has turned up for West Indies, his combative methodology has turned into an assaulting weapon in its own privilege, in what's been an incline period for West Indian cricket. His 79-ball century at Cape Town in January 2004, on the back of a South African first innings of 532, was ordinary of his down to business approach. Be that as it may, Gayle has additionally demonstrated the capacity to bat long stretches and the craving to make huge scores. In 2009 against Australia, Gayle batted right around seven-and-a-half hours in scoring an unbeaten 165 to spare the Test in Adelaide; in the exact next amusement, however, he crushed the fifth-speediest Test century - off 70 balls - to demonstrate that fast scoring remained his favored strategy. One year from now he batted just about ten hours and scored 333 against Sri Lanka and Muralitharan in Galle, turning out to be just the fourth batsman to score two triples in Tests, along these lines demonstrating again his capacity to bat long stretches.

And afterward there is additionally his energetic non-turning offspin, with which he has transformed himself into a bona fide allrounder in constrained overs cricket. His propensity to stay standoffish on the field here and there proposes he isn't occupied with the procedures, however his casual drew closer was useful for the group at whatever point he drove West Indies. Nonetheless, West Indies have missed his administrations very frequently due his disparities with their board. Amid his outcast, he was a Twenty20 general in different classes the world over, enlivening group in Australia, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. After a long illuminate from global cricket he returned unequivocally in 2012 on the voyage through England and thusly at home against New Zealand.
