5 aggressive openers with great hand-eye coordination

#3 Chris Gayle - West Indies

Universe boss Christopher Henry Gayle is one of the biggest hitters of the cricket ball in the world. Keeping a poker face and chewing a gum all the time while he is batting, Gayle can hit monstrous sixes with metronomic consistency.

Neither does he believe in running quick singles or doubles nor does he believe in moving his feet while batting. Raw power is the key ingredient to all the sumptuous Chris Gayle knocks. He has great eyes and an even greater reach with his long hands.

Chris Gayle just stands and delivers

Gayle absolutely loves the T20 format and has a host of records to his name. Fastest IPL century in 30 deliveries, most number of sixes in IPL - an unbelievable 292 sixes in 111 innings, 21 T20 centuries, maximum sixes in T20 international cricket - 106 sixes in 52 innings - the big man has ruled this format. That sensational knock of 175* off just 66 deliveries still reverberates in the minds of RCB fans.

He has a triple ton in Tests, a double ton in ODIs, and a couple of centuries in T20Is which a rare feat.
