10 best exponents of the cut shot in cricket history

7 Chris Gayle

If there is one batsman who can lay claim to being one of the most fierce cutters of the ball then it has to be the West Indian legend, Chris Gayle. Over the years, he has taken on the fastest bowlers in the world on all grounds and the cut shot has been one of his go to shots against anything short outside off.

More often than not, the ball is deposited into the stands when he gets it right. However, it is also necessary to point out that he can do it against the fastest bowlers and not only pacers. His hand speed and reach are certainly key attributes to his mastery over the attacking cut shot.
