#3 Chris Gayle (5 times from 2003 to 2019)

Chris Gayle has been one of the star players for West Indies

West Indies has always been the entertainers in the world of cricket. Their golden era was in the 70s and the 80s when other countries used to fear their fast bowling capabilities. After their unfortunate decline in the 2000s, the current West Indian side has been trying hard to regain their reputation. Chris Gayle is one such player who has been one cornerstone of the team since long.

Chris Gayle, the star opener has been carrying the responsibilities of the batting department on his shoulders after the retirements of Brian Lara and Shivnarine Chanderpaul. He has been a part of 5 World Cup tournaments including the ongoing 2019 ICC World Cup. His first outing came way back in 2003 in South Africa yet he still continues to be one of the best performers of this current Windies side.

Another interesting fact about Gayle's World Cup career is that he has played the tournament in 5 different continents!
