#2 Chris Gayle

The Universe Boss
The Universal Boss

He is one of the most famous cricketers in the cricketing world. Chris Gayle has found a huge fan following in India. However, unlike his fellow country men, the Jamaican wasn't an overnight success in IPL.

It was the fourth season of IPL where he was called by RCB as a replacement. RCB had an average season till that time. However, he orchestrated a complete turn around, taking his team to the finals, scoring 2 hundreds in the process.

He has a humongous fan base in Bangalore. Gayle, along with Kohli and de Villiers, formed the backbone of RCB over the years. The explosive batsman never leaves a chance to entertain his fans. He is often seen dancing on Bollywood songs in IPL parties.

He has been picked by KXIP for the 2018 season of IPL.
