#1 Chris Gayle (Kings XI Punjab)
The 39-year-old Chris Gayle is undoubtedly one of the best batsmen in T20 cricket. Gayle is not so active in international cricket these days, but he has been playing in various T20 leagues across the globe. He comes in handy with his right arm off spin bowling too.
