ABOUT CHRIS GAYLE :
Christopher Henry "Chris" Gayle (born
21 September 1979) is a
Jamaican cricketer who plays international cricket for the
West Indies. Considered as one of the greatest big hitting legends in limited overs cricket, Gayle has set numerous world records in all formats of the game. He captained the West Indies'
Test side from
2007 to
2010. He plays domestic cricket for
Jamaica, and also represents the
Royal Challengers Bangalore in the
Indian Premier League, the
Lahore Qalandars[
1][2] in the
Pakistan Super League, the
Melbourne Renegades in the
Big Bash League and the
Dhaka Gladiators in the
Bangladesh Premier League. He has also represented
Worcestershire, the
Western Warriors,
Sydney Thunder,
Barisal Burners,
Kolkata Knight Riders and
Somerset in his career. He was also selected for team Uva
Next for the inaugural
Sri Lanka Premier League in
2012.[3]
He is one of only four players who have scored two triple centuries at
Test level: 317 against
South Africa in
2005, and
333 against
Sri Lanka in 2010. He is known as a big hitter, very often hitting sixes; in 2012 he became the first player to hit a six off the first ball of a
Test match.
Playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, he scored a 30-ball century, that became the highest individual
T20 score (
175 not out).[
4][5] It eclipsed the previous mark set by
Brendon McCullum of Kolkata Knight Riders. At the launch of the
Caribbean Premier League he was announced as the first franchise player for the league.[6]
Chris Gayle became the first batsman in
World Cup history to score a double century when he reached
200 off 138 balls during the
2015 Cricket World Cup versus
Zimbabwe. He finished on 215 runs, which was the record for highest score in a World Cup until it was broken by
Martin Guptill, coincidentally against Gayle's West Indies team.[7] He is one of the five players to score a double century in ODIs. He is also the only player to score a test triple century, an
ODI double century, and a
T20I century.
He played in the second
IPL competition in early 2009, arriving for an away
Test series against
England very late, earning criticism about his commitment.[15] His Test series went poorly, and the West Indies went on to lose both the Test and ODI series. Gayle, however, went to on score a match winning 88 in the first official match of the 2009 Twenty20, in a surprise victory over
Australia.[16]
On
17 December 2009 in the
Australia v West Indies 3rd Test Chris Gayle scored the fifth fastest century in Test match history. He reached the century in just 70 balls. However he was shortly after dismissed for 102 runs. This feat included a flurry of runs thanks to some big hitting sixes. On
16 November 2010, he became the fourth cricketer to score two triple centuries in
Test cricket after
Donald Bradman,
Brian Lara and
Virender Sehwag.[17]
On his return to Test cricket in July 2012, he scored
150 on the third day of the first Test against
New Zealand.[18]
Gayle scored 75 runs from 41 balls, fuelling West Indies' total of 205, against Australia in the
2012 ICC World Twenty20 semifinal, which was the highest total of the tournament.[19][20]
In
November 2012, during the
First Test against
Bangladesh in
Dhaka, Gayle became the first player to hit a six off the first ball in the history of Test cricket.[21][22] In
February 2015, he became the fourth cricketer to score a double century in ODIs when he made 215 against Zimbabwe. [23][24]
In this match against Zimbabwe in World Cup in
Canberra, Gayle became the first player to hit a double century in World Cup history. His partnership with
Marlon Samuels was the most productive wicket in
Cricket World Cup history, producing 372 runs before Gayle was caught for an out on the final ball of the innings.[7] Coincidentally, he was almost adjudged out on the very first ball he faced as an
LBW appeal was raised by Zimbabwe bowler,
Tinashe Panyangara, however, the umpire turned down the appeal.
Despite a review which showed that the ball would have clipped the top of the bails, the original decision was upheld.[7] Gayle thus became the only player in world cricket to hit a triple hundred in
Tests, a double hundred in ODIs and a hundred in
Twenty20 Internationals.
