chris gayle plays cricket for west indies undwr track recordChristopher Henry Gayle , OD (born 21
September 1979) is a Jamaican cricketer
and a former captain, who plays
cricket for the West
Indies. [2] Gayle captained the West
Indies' Test side from 2007 to 2010.
Considered one of the greatest batsmen
in limited-overs cricket, Gayle has set and
tumbled numerous records across all
three formats of cricket. He is widely
acknowledged as the most destructive
and greatest Twenty20 batsman in the
history of the game. He is well known for
hitting sixes very often along with Shahid
Afridi; in 2012 he became the first player
to hit a six off the first ball of a Test
match. [3]
is one of only four players who have
scored two triple centuries at Test level:
317 against South Africa in 2005, and 333
against Sri Lanka in 2010. Gayle became
the first batsman in World Cup history to
score a double century when he reached
200 off 138 balls against Zimbabwe
during the 2015 World Cup . He finished
on 215 runs, which was the record for
highest score in a World Cup until it was
broken by Martin Guptill against Gayle's
own team. [4] He is one of the five players
to score a double century in ODIs. In
March 2016, Gayle became only the
second player (after Brendon McCullum)
to hit two Twenty20 International
hundreds, scoring 100 not out against
England .
plays domestic cricket for Jamaica,
and also represents the Kings XI Punjab
in the Indian Premier League , the Karachi
Kings [5][6] in the Pakistan Super League ,
the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash
League and the Dhaka Gladiators in the
Bangladesh Premier League . He has also
represented Worcestershire , the Western
Warriors , Sydney Thunder, Barisal
Burners , Kolkata Knight Riders and
Somerset in his career. He was also
selected for team Uva Next for the
inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League in
2012 . [7] In 2017–18 Bangladesh Premier
League season, Gayle performed for
Rangpur Riders and he came out as the
player of the series as well as the highest
run scorer by achieving some new world
records.
career
Gayle started his cricket career with the
famous Lucas Cricket Club in Kingston,
Jamaica. [8] Gayle claimed "If it was not
for Lucas I don't know where I would be
today. Maybe on the streets." [8] Lucas
Cricket Club's nursery has been named in
honor of Gayle. [8]
International debut
Gayle played for the West Indies at youth
international level prior to making his
first-class debut aged 19 for Jamaica. He
played his first One Day International
eleven months later, and his first Test
match six months after that. Gayle, who
normally opens the innings when he plays
for the West Indies, is a destructive
batsman who is most effective playing
square of the wicket. In July 2001, Gayle
(175), together with Daren Ganga (89)
established the record for opening
partnerships at Queens Sports Club,
Bulawayo when they put on 214 together
against Zimbabwe.

innings-by-innings breakdown of
Gayle's Test match batting career,
showing runs scored (red bars) and the
average of the last ten innings (blue line).
Gayle had a slow start to his international
career, but invigorated it in 2002, ending
the year with three centuries against India
in November and becoming the third West
Indian to score over 1,000 runs in a
calendar year, along with Vivian Richards
and Brian Lara . He is one of only six
players in One Day International history to
have three or more scores of 150. In
2005, Gayle was dropped for the first Test
against South Africa along with six other
players following a dispute over
sponsorship issues (see below). He
returned for the second Test but had a
poor series until the fourth Test, where he
made a match-saving 317. It was the
first-ever triple century against South
Africa and up until Mahela Jayawardene
made 374, it was the highest individual
Test score against them. In another
match of the series, Gayle had to leave
the field after complaining of dizziness.
During a subsequent series against
Australia, Gayle again complained of
dizziness and shortness of breath during
his innings. He left the field for a time,
and was after the match sent to hospital
where he was diagnosed with a
congenital heart defect causing a cardiac
dysrhythmia . He underwent heart surgery
following the series to correct the
defect. [9][10] Gayle was only the fourth
West Indian to carry his bat in a Test
innings. [11]
In August 2005, Gayle joined
Worcestershire for the rest of the English
season, playing eight matches. He made
two half-centuries in three first-class
matches and two half-centuries in five
one-day matches, and won one Man of
the Match award in the one-day National
League . However, Worcestershire were
relegated after Gayle made 1 in the final
match against Lancashire.
Gayle was named Player of the 2006
Champions Trophy, where the West Indies
nearly defended the title they won in
2004, being defeated in the final by
Australia. Gayle scored three centuries
and totalled 474 runs, 150 more than any
other batsman, and also took eight
wickets in as many matches. Gayle, in
keeping with the rest of the West Indies
team, had a poor World Cup in 2007. He
recorded a series of low scores; the one
exception being a blistering 79 off 58
balls against England in the West Indies'
final match.
Gayle set the first record for the highest
innings in a Twenty20 International,
scoring 117 against South Africa in the
first match of the 2007 World
Twenty20 .[12][13] The innings was the
first century in international Twenty20
cricket and made him the first batsman to
score a century in each of international
cricket's three formats. [14] The record
stood unmatched until 19 February 2012,
when South Africa's Richard Levi scored
117 n.o. against New Zealand ; Cricinfo
recognised Levi as having broken the
record outright, because a not out innings
is ranked above a dismissal . [15]
In n the appeal. Despite a
review which showed that the ball would
have clipped the top of the bails, the
original decision was upheld. [4] Gayle
thus became the only player in world
cricket to hit a triple hundred in Tests, a
double hundred in ODIs and a hundred in
Twenty20 Internationals.
Twenty20 cricket
the semi-final match of the 2009 World
Twenty20 against Sri Lanka, he became
the first international player to carry his
bat through the entire innings in this
format of the game as well. In April 2008,
Gayle was auctioned by the franchise
Kolkata Knight Riders of the Indian
Premier League , but missed the opening
games due to a Sri Lanka tour to the
Caribbean. When he finally joined the
team, he missed out on the action due to
a groin injury he picked up during that
tour. Afterwards, he left to join the West
Indies team for a home series against
Australia, therefore not playing in the
inaugural version of the IPL.
He played in the second IPL competition
in early 2009, arriving for an away Test
series against England very late, earning
criticism about his commitment. [16] His
Test series went poorly, and the West
Indies went on to lose both the Test and
ODI series. Gayle, however, went to on
score a match winning 88 in the first
official match of the 2009 Twenty20, in a
surprise victory over Australia. [17]
On 17 December 2009 in the Australia v
West Indies 3rd Test Chris Gayle scored
the fifth-fastest century in Test match
history. He reached the century in just 70
balls. However he was shortly after
dismissed for 102 runs. This feat included
a flurry of runs thanks to some big hitting
sixes. On 16 November 2010, he became
the fourth cricketer to score two triple
centuries in Test cricket after Donald
Bradman , Brian Lara and Virender
Sehwag . [18]
On his return to Test cricket in July 2012,
he scored 150 on the third day of the first
Test against New Zealand. [19]
Gayle scored 75 runs from 41 balls,
fuelling West Indies' total of 205, against
Australia in the 2012 ICC World Twenty20
semifinal, which was the highest total of
the tournament. [20][21]
In November 2012, during the First Test
against Bangladesh in Dhaka, Gayle
became the first player to hit a six off the
first ball in the history of Test cricket. [22]
[23] In February 2015, he became the
fourth cricketer to score a double century
in ODIs when he made 215 against
Zimbabwe. [24][25]
In this match against Zimbabwe in World
Cup in Canberra, Gayle became the first
player to hit a double century in World
Cup history. His partnership with Marlon
Samuels was the most productive wicket
in Cricket World Cup history, producing
372 runs before Gayle was caught for an
out on the final ball of the innings. [4]

On 1 July 2009, Gayle signed with the
Western Australia Warriors for the
Australian Domestic Twenty20 tournament
known as the Big Bash for the 2009–10
season.
Gayle with the Sydney Thunder in
2011
In 2011, after being left out of the initial
part of the West Indies T20 and one-day
home series against Pakistan, Gayle opted
to join the Royal Challengers Bangalore in
the fourth edition of the Indian Premier
League. [30] In his debut game against his
previous team Kolkata Knight Riders in
their home ground, he scored 102 off 55
balls, hitting 10 fours and 7 sixes.[31] On
6 May 2011, he scored another century,
107 off 49 balls in Bangalore against the
Kings XI Punjab, which included 10 fours
and 9 sixes. [32] In the next match against
Kochi Tuskers Kerala, he scored 37 runs
in one over, which included 3 sixes, 3
fours and a no ball that was hit for a
six. [33] Although many people cite him as
having hit the over for 37, one run was
awarded as an extra due to the no ball.
He can therefore be said to have hit 36
off an over that went for 37. Gayle won
the Orange Cap Award for scoring the
most runs in the tournament amassing
608 runs in 12 matches. [34] He was
instrumental in many victories for the
Royal Challengers Bangalore and received
five Man of the Match awards and also
the Player of the Tournament award for
his performances. [35] In the 2011
Champions League Twenty20 , Chris Gayle
was the second highest run-scorer in the
competition, behind David Warner, with
257 runs from 6 matches at an average
of 42.83 and a top score of 92, and was
one of the star players. [36]
Following his prolific performances Gayle
was signed by Zimbabwean franchise
Matabeleland Tuskers, for the 2011-12
Stanbic Bank 20 Series .[37] As Gayle later
recalled it was valuable practice ahead of
the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash, where he
had signed for the Sydney Thunder .[38]
[39][40] Gayle hoped his first appearance
in the tournament was a success, and he
gave the spectators something to cheer
about. Gayle was the second West Indian
to be signed in the event, after the
legendary Brian Lara had signed for
Southern Rocks the previous season.
Gayle enjoyed great success in that
tournament. He was the leading run-
scorer in that series with 293 runs, a top
score of 109, and an average over 50, the
best of the tournament. [41] Ironically, the
only century Gayle scored in the event
ended in defeat as Mid West Rhinos 's
Brendan Taylor 's outstanding 75*
outlasted his team. [42] The Tuskers could
not win the tournament as they were
overpowered by Mashonaland Eagles's
Ryan ten Doeschate's brilliant 121* off 58
and despite Gayle scoring a half-century,
it was not enough to see his home
through. [43]
Gayle also joined the Barisal Burners in
the Bangladesh Premier League , and has
scored two centuries at more than a run-
a-ball. [44]
In the 2012 IPL season , Gayle hit the most
sixes (59) [45] and was nominated for the
orange cap for making 733 in 14
matches. [46]
He was selected for team Uva Next for
the inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League in
2012. [7]
Gayle started off his 2013 IPL season
scoring 92 not out from 58 balls, hitting
11 fours and four sixes against the
Mumbai Indians. His innings helped his
side to victory, and he was awarded the
Man of the match . [47] On 23 April 2013
during an IPL match against Pune
Warriors India , Gayle broke multiple
scoring records. With an individual score
of 175 not out off 66 balls and a century
reached in 30 balls, Gayle set records for
the fastest century reached in any format
of cricket, the highest individual score in
a T20 match, and the most sixes scored
in a single innings in the IPL. [48][49] He
also took two wickets in the match.
On January 18, 2016, in a match with the
Adelaide Strikers , Gayle set a new Big
Bash League record for the fastest fifty
and equaled the world record set by
Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh against
England in the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 .
He reached 51 in just 12 deliveries which
included seven sixes and smashed the
previous record of 18 deliveries set by
Strikers batsman Tim Ludeman . He was
dismissed shortly after for 56 off 17 balls
by Travis Head. [50]
Chris Gayle was signed by Lahore
Qalandars in 2016 for 200,000 dollars to
play in the Pakistan Super League . Gayle
had his worst T20 league, citing back
problems. He only scored 103 runs from
five matches and was also out twice for a
golden duck, the most in his T20 career,
by Junaid Khan . [51]
On 18 April 2017, Gayle reached the
10,000 runs milestone in T20 cricket after
scoring 77 runs off 38 balls in a match
against Gujarat Lions where Royal
Challengers Bangalore won by 21 runs. He
was also awarded the man of the match
which was his first in IPL 2017 . [52][53]
On 16 September 2017, Gayle became the
first ever player to hit 100 T20I sixes.
On 28 January 2018, he was bought by
Kings XI Punjab in the 2018 IPL Auction
for his base price of ₹2 crores. [54]
List of Twenty20 centuries
Playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore ,
he scored a 30-ball century, that became
the highest individual T20 score (175 not
out). [48][55] It eclipsed the previous mark
set by Brendon McCullum of Kolkata
Knight Riders . At the launch of the
Caribbean Premier League he was
announced as the first franchise player
for the league. [56]
Chris Gayle holds the record for most
centuries in Twenty20 cricket (20),13
more than his nearest rival, Brendon
McCullum. In fact, he holds the record for
scoring the most number of unbeaten
centuries in all forms of T20s. (14 out of
his 20 T20 centuries have been not out .)
Gayle have unique record for scoring tons
in almost every T20 leagues across the
world. He has scored centuries in
T20 Internationals for the West Indies-2
tons
IPL (India)-5 tons
CPL (West Indies)-3 tons, Before CPL
there was only a domestic league T20
in West Indies and he scored a T20 ton
in that league(total-4 tons)
Big Bash (Australia)-1 ton
BPL (Bangladesh)-5 tons
Ram Slam T20 (South Africa)-1 ton
County T20 Blast (England)-1 ton
Zimbabwe Domestic League-1 ton
He has scored T20 centuries in India,
Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Australia, South
Africa, West Indies and in England. He
missed to hit centuries in CLT20, SLPL,
PSL only. He only misses out to score
T20I centuries in main nations such as Sri
Lanka, Pakistan, UAE, New Zealand etc.

Technique and attitude

(cricket)
Gayle is known for his characteristic
hitting, imposing physique, and timing. He
attributes the latter to being very thin
when young, and having a heavy bat. [61]
He is known for appearing very calm as
the bowler approaches. "Tall and
imposing at the crease, he loves to carve
through the covers off either foot, and has
the ability to decimate the figures of even
the thriftiest of opening bowlers" recorded
Wisden and CricInfo. [62] He holds
numerous records that reflect his batting
style, including record Twenty20 strike-
rates and high scores.
Controversies
Despite being regarded as a calm, cool
cricketer,[62] in 2005 Gayle was involved
in the dispute between the West Indies
Cricket Board and a number of players
over sponsorship issues. These players
had personal sponsorship deals with
Cable and Wireless, who used to sponsor
West Indian cricket. However, since the
West Indies had recently become
sponsored by Cable and Wireless' rivals
Digicel the West Indies Cricket Board
demanded the players dropped their Cable
and Wireless deals. When the players
refused to back down, the West Indies
Cricket Board dropped them for the first
Test against South Africa . [63] Gayle later
cut his deal with Cable and Wireless and
rejoined the side for the second Test. He
was charged with conduct contrary to the
spirit of cricket during a Test against New
Zealand in March 2006, but was
subsequently found not guilty. [64] Later
that year, during October's Champions
Trophy tournament in India, he was fined
30 percent of his match fee after
repeated verbal exchanges with the
Australian batsman Michael Clarke . [65]
He also publicly criticised the West Indies
Cricket Board during the 2007 tour of
England, which led to an official
reprimand and warning. [66]
Gayle also received criticism in early
2009 during West Indies' tour of England,
where he commented that he did not want
to captain the West Indies any more given
the pressures involved, and that he
"wouldn't be so sad" if Test cricket was
superseded by Twenty20 cricket in the
future. [16] From the West Indies, both Viv
Richards and Gary Sobers criticised
Gayle's comments, as did opposite
number Andrew Strauss. [67] Gayle later
commented that his statement had been
quoted out of context, according to Julian
Hunte , President of the West Indies
Cricket Board. [68] In an interview with
Mike Atherton at the conclusion of a West
Indies defeat in their tour of England,
Gayle stated that he was not going to
resign the captaincy. [69]
In April 2011 Chris Gayle criticised the
West Indies Cricket Board and coach Ottis
Gibson and did not play for the team for
more than a year. On 6 April 2012, Gayle
and the WICB reached an understanding
that paved the way for the former West
Indies captain to return to the national
team. [70] On 25 June 2012, Gayle was
chosen to be a part of the 2 T20 and five-
match one-day squad series starting on
30 June 2012, in the West Indies and
Florida. They won the T20 series 2–0 in
which Gayle was awarded man of the
series, and the ODI series 4–1 in which
Gayle made an aggressive century and
half-century.
On 4 January 2016, while being
interviewed by Network Ten commentator
Mel McLaughlin during the 2015–16 Big
Bash League season , Gayle said "so
hopefully we can win this game and we
can have a drink after" followed by "Don't
blush, baby". The comments were
criticised by the Australian media,[71][72]
[73][74] with former Australian test
captain Ian Chappell encouraging Cricket
Australia to ban him from playing in
Australia again. [75] Fellow female sports
journalist Neroli Meadows stated that
Gayle had been acting in such a way for
years, and that he did it to "humiliate"
women. [76] Gayle said the comments
were intended to be a joke. [77][78]
Melbourne Renegades sanctioned Gayle
with a A$10,000 fine for inappropriate
conduct. [79] On 30 October 2017 Chris
Gayle won a defamation case against
Fairfax Media after a jury found a series
of articles published in 2016 which
alleged he exposed himself to a
masseuse were untrue. [80]
The Chris Gayle
Academy
In 2015 Gayle set up 'The Chris Gayle
Academy' with the intent on helping
disadvantaged children in both Jamaica
and The United Kingdom better
themselves and their communities
through their involvement in sport. [81]
Since then the academy has expanded
and now facilitates the advancement of
young cricketers careers by providing
access to quality coaches and playing
opportunities abroad.
International centuries
Gayle has scored 39 international
centuries, which includes 15 Tests, 22
ODIs and 2 T20I centuries. He is the first
cricketer to score centuries in all formats

its said that chris gayle accepted islam in karachi pakistan today....
but the truth is yet to be found.
chris gayle plays cricket for west indies undwr track recordChristopher Henry Gayle , OD (born 21
September 1979) is a Jamaican cricketer
and a former captain, who plays
cricket for the West
Indies. [2] Gayle captained the West
Indies' Test side from 2007 to 2010.
Considered one of the greatest batsmen
in limited-overs cricket, Gayle has set and
tumbled numerous records across all
three formats of cricket. He is widely
acknowledged as the most destructive
and greatest Twenty20 batsman in the
history of the game. He is well known for
hitting sixes very often along with Shahid
Afridi; in 2012 he became the first player
to hit a six off the first ball of a Test
match. [3]
is one of only four players who have
scored two triple centuries at Test level:
317 against South Africa in 2005, and 333
against Sri Lanka in 2010. Gayle became
the first batsman in World Cup history to
score a double century when he reached
200 off 138 balls against Zimbabwe
during the 2015 World Cup . He finished
on 215 runs, which was the record for
highest score in a World Cup until it was
broken by Martin Guptill against Gayle's
own team. [4] He is one of the five players
to score a double century in ODIs. In
March 2016, Gayle became only the
second player (after Brendon McCullum)
to hit two Twenty20 International
hundreds, scoring 100 not out against
England .
plays domestic cricket for Jamaica,
and also represents the Kings XI Punjab
in the Indian Premier League , the Karachi
Kings [5][6] in the Pakistan Super League ,
the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash
League and the Dhaka Gladiators in the
Bangladesh Premier League . He has also
represented Worcestershire , the Western
Warriors , Sydney Thunder, Barisal
Burners , Kolkata Knight Riders and
Somerset in his career. He was also
selected for team Uva Next for the
inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League in
2012 . [7] In 2017–18 Bangladesh Premier
League season, Gayle performed for
Rangpur Riders and he came out as the
player of the series as well as the highest
run scorer by achieving some new world
records.
career
Gayle started his cricket career with the
famous Lucas Cricket Club in Kingston,
Jamaica. [8] Gayle claimed "If it was not
for Lucas I don't know where I would be
today. Maybe on the streets." [8] Lucas
Cricket Club's nursery has been named in
honor of Gayle. [8]
International debut
Gayle played for the West Indies at youth
international level prior to making his
first-class debut aged 19 for Jamaica. He
played his first One Day International
eleven months later, and his first Test
match six months after that. Gayle, who
normally opens the innings when he plays
for the West Indies, is a destructive
batsman who is most effective playing
square of the wicket. In July 2001, Gayle
(175), together with Daren Ganga (89)
established the record for opening
partnerships at Queens Sports Club,
Bulawayo when they put on 214 together
against Zimbabwe.

innings-by-innings breakdown of
Gayle's Test match batting career,
showing runs scored (red bars) and the
average of the last ten innings (blue line).
Gayle had a slow start to his international
career, but invigorated it in 2002, ending
the year with three centuries against India
in November and becoming the third West
Indian to score over 1,000 runs in a
calendar year, along with Vivian Richards
and Brian Lara . He is one of only six
players in One Day International history to
have three or more scores of 150. In
2005, Gayle was dropped for the first Test
against South Africa along with six other
players following a dispute over
sponsorship issues (see below). He
returned for the second Test but had a
poor series until the fourth Test, where he
made a match-saving 317. It was the
first-ever triple century against South
Africa and up until Mahela Jayawardene
made 374, it was the highest individual
Test score against them. In another
match of the series, Gayle had to leave
the field after complaining of dizziness.
During a subsequent series against
Australia, Gayle again complained of
dizziness and shortness of breath during
his innings. He left the field for a time,
and was after the match sent to hospital
where he was diagnosed with a
congenital heart defect causing a cardiac
dysrhythmia . He underwent heart surgery
following the series to correct the
defect. [9][10] Gayle was only the fourth
West Indian to carry his bat in a Test
innings. [11]
In August 2005, Gayle joined
Worcestershire for the rest of the English
season, playing eight matches. He made
two half-centuries in three first-class
matches and two half-centuries in five
one-day matches, and won one Man of
the Match award in the one-day National
League . However, Worcestershire were
relegated after Gayle made 1 in the final
match against Lancashire.
Gayle was named Player of the 2006
Champions Trophy, where the West Indies
nearly defended the title they won in
2004, being defeated in the final by
Australia. Gayle scored three centuries
and totalled 474 runs, 150 more than any
other batsman, and also took eight
wickets in as many matches. Gayle, in
keeping with the rest of the West Indies
team, had a poor World Cup in 2007. He
recorded a series of low scores; the one
exception being a blistering 79 off 58
balls against England in the West Indies'
final match.
Gayle set the first record for the highest
innings in a Twenty20 International,
scoring 117 against South Africa in the
first match of the 2007 World
Twenty20 .[12][13] The innings was the
first century in international Twenty20
cricket and made him the first batsman to
score a century in each of international
cricket's three formats. [14] The record
stood unmatched until 19 February 2012,
when South Africa's Richard Levi scored
117 n.o. against New Zealand ; Cricinfo
recognised Levi as having broken the
record outright, because a not out innings
is ranked above a dismissal . [15]
In n the appeal. Despite a
review which showed that the ball would
have clipped the top of the bails, the
original decision was upheld. [4] Gayle
thus became the only player in world
cricket to hit a triple hundred in Tests, a
double hundred in ODIs and a hundred in
Twenty20 Internationals.
Twenty20 cricket
the semi-final match of the 2009 World
Twenty20 against Sri Lanka, he became
the first international player to carry his
bat through the entire innings in this
format of the game as well. In April 2008,
Gayle was auctioned by the franchise
Kolkata Knight Riders of the Indian
Premier League , but missed the opening
games due to a Sri Lanka tour to the
Caribbean. When he finally joined the
team, he missed out on the action due to
a groin injury he picked up during that
tour. Afterwards, he left to join the West
Indies team for a home series against
Australia, therefore not playing in the
inaugural version of the IPL.
He played in the second IPL competition
in early 2009, arriving for an away Test
series against England very late, earning
criticism about his commitment. [16] His
Test series went poorly, and the West
Indies went on to lose both the Test and
ODI series. Gayle, however, went to on
score a match winning 88 in the first
official match of the 2009 Twenty20, in a
surprise victory over Australia. [17]
On 17 December 2009 in the Australia v
West Indies 3rd Test Chris Gayle scored
the fifth-fastest century in Test match
history. He reached the century in just 70
balls. However he was shortly after
dismissed for 102 runs. This feat included
a flurry of runs thanks to some big hitting
sixes. On 16 November 2010, he became
the fourth cricketer to score two triple
centuries in Test cricket after Donald
Bradman , Brian Lara and Virender
Sehwag . [18]
On his return to Test cricket in July 2012,
he scored 150 on the third day of the first
Test against New Zealand. [19]
Gayle scored 75 runs from 41 balls,
fuelling West Indies' total of 205, against
Australia in the 2012 ICC World Twenty20
semifinal, which was the highest total of
the tournament. [20][21]
In November 2012, during the First Test
against Bangladesh in Dhaka, Gayle
became the first player to hit a six off the
first ball in the history of Test cricket. [22]
[23] In February 2015, he became the
fourth cricketer to score a double century
in ODIs when he made 215 against
Zimbabwe. [24][25]
In this match against Zimbabwe in World
Cup in Canberra, Gayle became the first
player to hit a double century in World
Cup history. His partnership with Marlon
Samuels was the most productive wicket
in Cricket World Cup history, producing
372 runs before Gayle was caught for an
out on the final ball of the innings. [4]

On 1 July 2009, Gayle signed with the
Western Australia Warriors for the
Australian Domestic Twenty20 tournament
known as the Big Bash for the 2009–10
season.
Gayle with the Sydney Thunder in
2011
In 2011, after being left out of the initial
part of the West Indies T20 and one-day
home series against Pakistan, Gayle opted
to join the Royal Challengers Bangalore in
the fourth edition of the Indian Premier
League. [30] In his debut game against his
previous team Kolkata Knight Riders in
their home ground, he scored 102 off 55
balls, hitting 10 fours and 7 sixes.[31] On
6 May 2011, he scored another century,
107 off 49 balls in Bangalore against the
Kings XI Punjab, which included 10 fours
and 9 sixes. [32] In the next match against
Kochi Tuskers Kerala, he scored 37 runs
in one over, which included 3 sixes, 3
fours and a no ball that was hit for a
six. [33] Although many people cite him as
having hit the over for 37, one run was
awarded as an extra due to the no ball.
He can therefore be said to have hit 36
off an over that went for 37. Gayle won
the Orange Cap Award for scoring the
most runs in the tournament amassing
608 runs in 12 matches. [34] He was
instrumental in many victories for the
Royal Challengers Bangalore and received
five Man of the Match awards and also
the Player of the Tournament award for
his performances. [35] In the 2011
Champions League Twenty20 , Chris Gayle
was the second highest run-scorer in the
competition, behind David Warner, with
257 runs from 6 matches at an average
of 42.83 and a top score of 92, and was
one of the star players. [36]
Following his prolific performances Gayle
was signed by Zimbabwean franchise
Matabeleland Tuskers, for the 2011-12
Stanbic Bank 20 Series .[37] As Gayle later
recalled it was valuable practice ahead of
the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash, where he
had signed for the Sydney Thunder .[38]
[39][40] Gayle hoped his first appearance
in the tournament was a success, and he
gave the spectators something to cheer
about. Gayle was the second West Indian
to be signed in the event, after the
legendary Brian Lara had signed for
Southern Rocks the previous season.
Gayle enjoyed great success in that
tournament. He was the leading run-
scorer in that series with 293 runs, a top
score of 109, and an average over 50, the
best of the tournament. [41] Ironically, the
only century Gayle scored in the event
ended in defeat as Mid West Rhinos 's
Brendan Taylor 's outstanding 75*
outlasted his team. [42] The Tuskers could
not win the tournament as they were
overpowered by Mashonaland Eagles's
Ryan ten Doeschate's brilliant 121* off 58
and despite Gayle scoring a half-century,
it was not enough to see his home
through. [43]
Gayle also joined the Barisal Burners in
the Bangladesh Premier League , and has
scored two centuries at more than a run-
a-ball. [44]
In the 2012 IPL season , Gayle hit the most
sixes (59) [45] and was nominated for the
orange cap for making 733 in 14
matches. [46]
He was selected for team Uva Next for
the inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League in
2012. [7]
Gayle started off his 2013 IPL season
scoring 92 not out from 58 balls, hitting
11 fours and four sixes against the
Mumbai Indians. His innings helped his
side to victory, and he was awarded the
Man of the match . [47] On 23 April 2013
during an IPL match against Pune
Warriors India , Gayle broke multiple
scoring records. With an individual score
of 175 not out off 66 balls and a century
reached in 30 balls, Gayle set records for
the fastest century reached in any format
of cricket, the highest individual score in
a T20 match, and the most sixes scored
in a single innings in the IPL. [48][49] He
also took two wickets in the match.
On January 18, 2016, in a match with the
Adelaide Strikers , Gayle set a new Big
Bash League record for the fastest fifty
and equaled the world record set by
Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh against
England in the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 .
He reached 51 in just 12 deliveries which
included seven sixes and smashed the
previous record of 18 deliveries set by
Strikers batsman Tim Ludeman . He was
dismissed shortly after for 56 off 17 balls
by Travis Head. [50]
Chris Gayle was signed by Lahore
Qalandars in 2016 for 200,000 dollars to
play in the Pakistan Super League . Gayle
had his worst T20 league, citing back
problems. He only scored 103 runs from
five matches and was also out twice for a
golden duck, the most in his T20 career,
by Junaid Khan . [51]
On 18 April 2017, Gayle reached the
10,000 runs milestone in T20 cricket after
scoring 77 runs off 38 balls in a match
against Gujarat Lions where Royal
Challengers Bangalore won by 21 runs. He
was also awarded the man of the match
which was his first in IPL 2017 . [52][53]
On 16 September 2017, Gayle became the
first ever player to hit 100 T20I sixes.
On 28 January 2018, he was bought by
Kings XI Punjab in the 2018 IPL Auction
for his base price of ₹2 crores. [54]
List of Twenty20 centuries
Playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore ,
he scored a 30-ball century, that became
the highest individual T20 score (175 not
out). [48][55] It eclipsed the previous mark
set by Brendon McCullum of Kolkata
Knight Riders . At the launch of the
Caribbean Premier League he was
announced as the first franchise player
for the league. [56]
Chris Gayle holds the record for most
centuries in Twenty20 cricket (20),13
more than his nearest rival, Brendon
McCullum. In fact, he holds the record for
scoring the most number of unbeaten
centuries in all forms of T20s. (14 out of
his 20 T20 centuries have been not out .)
Gayle have unique record for scoring tons
in almost every T20 leagues across the
world. He has scored centuries in
T20 Internationals for the West Indies-2
tons
IPL (India)-5 tons
CPL (West Indies)-3 tons, Before CPL
there was only a domestic league T20
in West Indies and he scored a T20 ton
in that league(total-4 tons)
Big Bash (Australia)-1 ton
BPL (Bangladesh)-5 tons
Ram Slam T20 (South Africa)-1 ton
County T20 Blast (England)-1 ton
Zimbabwe Domestic League-1 ton
He has scored T20 centuries in India,
Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Australia, South
Africa, West Indies and in England. He
missed to hit centuries in CLT20, SLPL,
PSL only. He only misses out to score
T20I centuries in main nations such as Sri
Lanka, Pakistan, UAE, New Zealand etc.

Technique and attitude
See also: Player of the Match awards
(cricket)
Gayle is known for his characteristic
hitting, imposing physique, and timing. He
attributes the latter to being very thin
when young, and having a heavy bat. [61]
He is known for appearing very calm as
the bowler approaches. "Tall and
imposing at the crease, he loves to carve
through the covers off either foot, and has
the ability to decimate the figures of even
the thriftiest of opening bowlers" recorded
Wisden and CricInfo. [62] He holds
numerous records that reflect his batting
style, including record Twenty20 strike-
rates and high scores.
Controversies
Despite being regarded as a calm, cool
cricketer,[62] in 2005 Gayle was involved
in the dispute between the West Indies
Cricket Board and a number of players
over sponsorship issues. These players
had personal sponsorship deals with
Cable and Wireless, who used to sponsor
West Indian cricket. However, since the
West Indies had recently become
sponsored by Cable and Wireless' rivals
Digicel the West Indies Cricket Board
demanded the players dropped their Cable
and Wireless deals. When the players
refused to back down, the West Indies
Cricket Board dropped them for the first
Test against South Africa . [63] Gayle later
cut his deal with Cable and Wireless and
rejoined the side for the second Test. He
was charged with conduct contrary to the
spirit of cricket during a Test against New
Zealand in March 2006, but was
subsequently found not guilty. [64] Later
that year, during October's Champions
Trophy tournament in India, he was fined
30 percent of his match fee after
repeated verbal exchanges with the
Australian batsman Michael Clarke . [65]
He also publicly criticised the West Indies
Cricket Board during the 2007 tour of
England, which led to an official
reprimand and warning. [66]
Gayle also received criticism in early
2009 during West Indies' tour of England,
where he commented that he did not want
to captain the West Indies any more given
the pressures involved, and that he
"wouldn't be so sad" if Test cricket was
superseded by Twenty20 cricket in the
future. [16] From the West Indies, both Viv
Richards and Gary Sobers criticised
Gayle's comments, as did opposite
number Andrew Strauss. [67] Gayle later
commented that his statement had been
quoted out of context, according to Julian
Hunte , President of the West Indies
Cricket Board. [68] In an interview with
Mike Atherton at the conclusion of a West
Indies defeat in their tour of England,
Gayle stated that he was not going to
resign the captaincy. [69]
In April 2011 Chris Gayle criticised the
West Indies Cricket Board and coach Ottis
Gibson and did not play for the team for
more than a year. On 6 April 2012, Gayle
and the WICB reached an understanding
that paved the way for the former West
Indies captain to return to the national
team. [70] On 25 June 2012, Gayle was
chosen to be a part of the 2 T20 and five-
match one-day squad series starting on
30 June 2012, in the West Indies and
Florida. They won the T20 series 2–0 in
which Gayle was awarded man of the
series, and the ODI series 4–1 in which
Gayle made an aggressive century and
half-century.
On 4 January 2016, while being
interviewed by Network Ten commentator
Mel McLaughlin during the 2015–16 Big
Bash League season , Gayle said "so
hopefully we can win this game and we
can have a drink after" followed by "Don't
blush, baby". The comments were
criticised by the Australian media,[71][72]
[73][74] with former Australian test
captain Ian Chappell encouraging Cricket
Australia to ban him from playing in
Australia again. [75] Fellow female sports
journalist Neroli Meadows stated that
Gayle had been acting in such a way for
years, and that he did it to "humiliate"
women. [76] Gayle said the comments
were intended to be a joke. [77][78]
Melbourne Renegades sanctioned Gayle
with a A$10,000 fine for inappropriate
conduct. [79] On 30 October 2017 Chris
Gayle won a defamation case against
Fairfax Media after a jury found a series
of articles published in 2016 which
alleged he exposed himself to a
masseuse were untrue. [80]

and now facilitates the advancement of
young cricketers careers by providing
access to quality coaches and playing
