CPL 2017: 5 players to watch out for

#1 Chris Gayle

Gayle will hope that a change of franchise will change his fortunes

From the last few months, Chris Gayle is struggling to score runs but that doesn't decrease his popularity among the fans or the fear he inflicts on the opposition. He still is T20 cricket's biggest superstar. Or as he calls himself, the 'Universal Boss'.

The highest run scorer in T20 cricket, Gayle is the one man force that can demolish, butcher, annihilate and completely wipe out any bowling artillery with his massive arms, powerful shoulders and impeccable timing. The pitch, conditions or the bowling style has no effect on him and if he gets set then he is unstoppable.

After representing Jamaica Tallawahs for four years, the left-hand batsman will be playing for St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots in this year's CPL. It will be interesting to see how he accommodates in the new franchise and everyone will be eager to see whether Gayle is able to break his bad patch of form of late.
