The Jamaican, over the years, has made a mockery of the boundary as he even mishits balls over the ropes, leave alone the ones he middles. There’s no dull moment when the hulking batsman from the Caribbean is plying his trade with the willow in hand.

He can be an asset to any baseball team and on his day can demolish any opposition no matter how much stronger they are. Bowlers have had to face his wrath as the West Indian dismisses deliveries out of sight with disparagement.

Stand and deliver - Chris Gayle’s methodology for hitting sixes and when it comes off the screws, fielders become mere spectators. And provided it’s a full toss, which is the case in baseball, there’s no stopping the carnage. Home-run is where Gayle must have set his destiny in baseball and like cricket, would have earned the record of most home runs.

Pitchers in baseball must be breathing a sigh of relief after the carnage Gayle has displayed over the past decade.
