The 'Universe Boss' Chris Gayle has been in great form of late and has already scored 50 in their first match against Pakistan in this World Cup. The 39-year-old is back on the track in 2019 when is heading to the end of his amazing cricket career.

The Jamaican batsman has scored 474 runs with two centuries in just 5 ODI innings in 2019. The explosive batsman also boasts of the best batting average (94.80) and the best batting strike-rate (135.43) among all the West Indies batsman in 2019.

The attacking opener Gayle can hit big sixes easily because of his power and no ground is big enough for him. The big man has smacked 317 maximums in ODIs which is second highest after Shahid Afridi. The southpaw was the first player and is only of the two players who have scored a double-century in the World Cup.

He had also smashed 16 sixes when he scored his double-century against Zimbabwe in WC 2015. Peaking at the right time again, the legend is playing his last World Cup and the dangerous man will try to have a good farewell.
