#3 Chris Gayle
The 'Universe Boss' Chris Gayle has always remained a player to look out for in any edition of the game. In the previous edition of the World Cup, Gayle became the first batsman to score a double century in a World Cup match. The Jamaican will be featuring in his last World Cup and will be looking to make a massive impact at the top of the order.
Gayle has looked in ominous form this year as he has notched up 474 runs from six matches at an averag of 94.80 and a strike rate of 135.42, including two centuries and three half-centuries and will need to be at his best to get West Indies close to claiming the title.
If the dashing opener keeps injuries at bay, he could be a force to reckon to with, making him a candidate to break the record for most runs in the edition.
