The 39-year-old Chris Gayle is arguably the most destructive batsmen in limited overs cricket. He is not too active in international cricket these days, but he has been playing in various T20 leagues around the globe.

Gayle made his international comeback in the ODI series against England last month and was named the Man of the Series with two centuries and two fifties.

In IPL, Gayle has played for Kolkata Knight Riders (2008-2010), Royal Challengers Bangalore (2011-2017) and Kings XI Punjab (2018-present). He has already bagged 2 Orange Caps and 1 Most Valuable Player title in the past editions of the IPL.

Gayle has a total of 3994 IPL runs at an average of 41.17 and strike rate of 150.71. He is expected to open the batting for Kings XI Punjab, and will be hoping to continue his good form in this edition of the IPL too.
