10 cricketers who make good biopic materials

#1 Chris Gayle (West Indies)

Gayle holds the record for most number of centuries in T20 cricket with 18

The flamboyant opener from Jamaica made his Test debut for the national team against Zimbabwe in 2000 but his initial years at the international level was far from impressive. In 2002 he justified his selection in the side scoring 3 centuries in the calendar year and also became the 3rd West Indies batsman to score 1000 runs in a calendar year.

Gayle is one among the four cricketers to hit two triple centuries in Test cricket and is the only cricketer to hit a six in the very first ball of a Test match. He also became the 1st batsman to hit a double century in a World Cup game in 2015.

The big Jamaican is regarded as the greatest T20 batsman of all time and has scored 18 centuries in the format so far with Brendon McCullum being the distant second with 11. He has been an important member of every T20 team and has been a prolific run scorer for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. He also holds the record for the highest individual score in T20 cricket.

Besides his destructive batting prowess, Gayle is never shy of revealing his lavish lifestyle. He is a party freak and enjoys every moment like a king as he feels life is too short. In one of the recent interviews, he revealed that his house has a strip club. He further added that if one doesn’t have a strip club in his house he is not a cricketer. He explained that life is too short and he wants everyone who comes in his house gets thoroughly entertained and feel at home.

Seeing his lifestyle now very few would know that his childhood was far from lavish. His father was a policeman and his mother sold nibbles in their locality. Though they were never poor but were far from well-off.
