3 highly successful foreign batsmen in IPL history

#2 Chris Gayle

The 'Universe Boss' Chris Gayle is undoubtedly one of the most destructive batsmen of the modern era across all formats. He has rocked the cricketing world with his menacing power with the bat. The Jamaican hits sixes for fun and scores T20 centuries for breakfast.

Chris Gayle started his IPL career with KKR, but much to his dismay, it turned out to be a not-so-successful partnership as he underperformed all the way through to 2010. He then came to RCB mid-season and launched one of the most scathing attacks on bowling units across all teams in the league's history. It looked like he was waiting for the right time to unleash hell.

In 2011 and 2012 Chris gayle's breathtaking consistency made him two-time Orange Cap holder. He scored 608 and 733 runs in consecutive years. He became an indivisible part of RCB until 2018 when he joined KXIP.

In 111 innings he has scored 3994 runs at an astonishing average and strike rate of 41.17 and 150.7 respectively. He has registered the highest individual score in IPL history when he just took the Pune (PWI) bowlers to the cleaners and treated them with utmost disdain before ending up with 175*.

Gayle has 6 centuries and 24 half-centuries against his name. He is the only player to have crossed the 10,000 run-mark in T20 history. He is undoubtedly the greatest missionary of T20 cricket across the globe.
