'The Universe Boss' is often seen as the most fearsome hitter of the cricket ball. Chris Gayle has been in and out of the One-Day International side in the last few years, but he made a comeback to the West Indian side with a huge number of runs under his belt. In the last 4 games against England, 'The Universe Boss' scored 424 runs with a strike rate of 135.

Chris Gayle has officially announced his departure from One-day Internationals and this will be his last burst at the big tournament. In this year's edition of IPL, Chris Gayle scored 490 runs with a strike rate of 150+ and has smashed 34 sixes in the 13 games he played for his side.

As Gayle is looking to wrap up his 20-year long international career, everyone would be keen to see 'The Universe Boss' prove once again that he is the most destructive batsman the cricketing world has ever seen.
