IPL All-Time Foreigners XI

Openers

Chris Gayle

Arguably the most explosive batsman in the world, Christopher Henry Gayle has been decimating every opposition bowler since the beginning of time.

It was not all rosy for him in the first couple of seasons though as he did not manage to generate too many sparks while playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders, but ever since he joined the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2011, his fortunes changed, much to the delight of the RCB fans.

He has broken numerous records with the bat and has the best strike rate in the IPL so far. He also holds the record for the most sixes hit by a batsman in the IPL – a record which does not seem likely to be broken anytime soon.

David Warner

The vice-captain of the Australian cricket team is not having a great time with the bat against India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Test series. However, we can expect a totally different avatar from the 30-year-old once the IPL begins.

Currently the captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Warner led the side to its first ever trophy last year and his performances with the bat were one of the main reasons for SRH’s success.

Before being signed up by the Hyderabad franchise, Warner showcased his skills for the Delhi Daredevils and proved to be just as deadly.

He will look to put his recent slump of form behind him when the IPL kicks off on April 5^th.
