Chris Gayle

Talk about six hitting and the first name which comes to your mind is that of the tall and powerfully built West Indian opener Chris Gayle. The Jamaican powerhouse has earned a reputation of being one of the most brutal hitters in the history of the game.

Gayle’s six-hitting prowess is second to none and there is no ground big enough to contain the fury of the ‘Gayle Storm’ when it strikes in full force.

Gayle derives his clinical hitting from the still head position, high backlift and raw core strength. The West Indian giant has played some whirlwind innings, both in the ODIs and T20s where he has declared himself as the 'Universal Boss'.

A globe-trotter who lights up T20 leagues with his belligerent strokeplay, Gayle remains the undisputed leader when it comes to tonking huge sixes.

Gayle equaled Shahid Afridi’s record of the most sixes in international cricket and stands tall among his contemporaries in a club of exclusive six hitters.
