Chris Gayle was called Mr. T20 for a reason

Chris Gayle is a name that needs no introduction when it comes to T20s and he was known as one of the biggest hitters in cricket.

Gayle was the winner of the Orange Cap during the 2011 edition of the IPL and it is not difficult to see why. Picked by RCB and playing for the franchise for the first time in his career, Gayle did not disappoint. The Universe Boss finished the season at the top the chart of six hitters with 44 maximums.

As if that wasn't impressive enough, he also blasted 56 fours and amassed two centuries. This would see him become the first batsman to score two hundreds during a single IPL season.
