Chris Gayle

     Chris Gayle is one of my favorite cricket players that plays in this year's World Cup. He plays for West Indies as a star batter and an excellent spinner. Being an all-rounder he is a crucial part to West Indies in their victories this year and in the past. He established his batting skills against Zimbabwe this past week hitting an outstanding 215 runs and 2 wickets. This set a record in the World Cup history for the most runs scored by one individual player. He was also able to get the best partnership a in history. Meanwhile, as I mentioned before he also got 2 wickets having arguably his best match of his whole career. Chris Gayle has been playing in the World Cup for 16 years and this is the best match he has had so far. I believe that later the "GayleStorm" could have even a better match then the one he had against Zimbabwe.  Gayle also plays for an IPL team call the Bangalore Royal Challengers, which is my favorite team. Playing for Bangalore he also got the fastest century in IPL  history.  The fastest century in T20 history with a century off only 24 balls. Chris Gayle has shattered so many records with the fastest century, biggest partnership, and the most runs by an individual in the history of the World Cup. Leaving many people to think of him as one of the best batsmen in all of cricket history.
