3 Chris Gayle

There used to be a time when Chris Gayle used to bowl quite regularly for the West Indies, but over the past few years, he bowls only when the captain is at his wit's end. Gayle's fast off-break does not spin much but he is deadly accurate and that often makes him hard to score against.
He has a perfectly acceptable economy rate of 4.76 in one-dayer while it shoots to a shade over 7 in T20 Internationals. In Test cricket, he has claimed 73 wickets across 103 Tests which is not a bad haul for a part-time bowler but in one-dayers his tally stands at 163, which is not to be sniffed at.
