ICC Champions Trophy: Top 5 run-scorers in the tournament

#1 Chris Gayle

The left-hander is the leading run scorer in the Champions Trophy.

The 37-year old is regarded as one of the most destructive batsmen in the shorter format of the game. A nightmare for any bowling unit, it comes as no surprise that Chris Gayle is the leading run scorer in the history of the Champions Trophy.

Gayle has been part of the West Indian outfit for 17 matches in the tournament and has amassed 791 runs with an average of 53. The big-hitting opening batsman has the ability to take the game away from the opposition with his sheer power which makes him the most feared batsman in the modern era.

The eighth edition of the tournament will miss the Caribbean flavour as the Windies failed to break into the top eight of the world and hence will not be competing in the tournament.
