Chris Gayle aka the Universal Boss has been one of the most explosive batsmen the world has been a witness to. The left-handed batsman from Windies has plied his trade in 103 Tests, 284 ODIs and 56 T20Is in which he has notched 7214, 9727 and 1607 runs respectively. Moreover, the hulk-like batsman is an owner of a staggering 40 centuries at the international level.

Bearing in mind his incredible ability to strike the ball, the Jamaica-born cricketer is also the most sought after cricketers in domestic T20 events around the globe. Moreover, Gayle has over 863 sixes in the format and second to him is Kieron Pollard with 550 sixes, 313 less than the Jamaican’s tally. Quite rightly, the incredible numbers manifest the brutal nature of the experienced batsman.

Gayle turns 39

The last few years have been a tad tumultuous for Gayle as he has strained to weave his magic frequently enough. However, back in March, he donned the national colours in the qualifiers for the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales and played some important knocks to guide his team. The seasoned campaigner is expected to be a vital cog in their setup, going into the mega-event.

Recently, Gayle played the 2018 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in which he captained St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. He didn’t quite have an overwhelming campaign with the willow by his standards having scored only 283 runs in 11 matches at an average of 28.30 and with only one half-century.

To his agony, his team bowed out after losing the second qualifier to Trinbago Knight Riders. In the meantime, the cricketer has reasons to cherish for the fact that he is celebrating his 39th birthday today. On the auspicious occasion a number of cricketers, both former and current, from every nook and corner of the world, wished Gayle.
