Gayle's career looked as good as over because of his mediocre performance in the last couple of years. But the Jamaican single-handedly destroyed England's bowling attack in the ODI series played at home and then backed it up with a terrific show in the IPL making him a star attraction at the World Cup.


Youngest player - Oshane Thomas (22 years)
