Chris Gayle is the best batsman in the world as far as the T20 format is concerned. The Universe Boss has been ruling the T20 format for more than a decade now and he is currently the leading run-scorer in this format.
Popularly known as “Universe Boss”, Chris Gayle is one of the very few cricketers in the present era with no haters. The Jamaican-born cricketer has played a total of 463 matches so far in his entire career.
Overall, he has scored 14562 runs at an average of 36.22 at an exceptional strike rate of 144.75. It is worth mentioning here that he has smashed a flurry of 22 centuries and 88 half-centuries to his name.

Chris Gayle picks Jasprit Bumrah as the toughest bowler he faced in the IPL
Meanwhile, the veteran cricketer must have faced top-quality pacers in the Indian Premier League. According to him, Jasprit Bumrah is the toughest bowler that he has ever faced in India’s premier T20 competition.
Jasprit Bumrah is best known for his impeccable bowling potential and has been a top bowler for Team India for a long time now. He is currently out of cricketing action owing to an injury and is expected to be back in action for the sixteenth edition of the IPL.
Bumrah has played 120 games in the IPL and the Mumbai Indians’ paceman has bagged 145 wickets to his name. Notably, he took two four-wicket-hauls and a fifer to his name.
Jasprit Bumrah didn’t play Asia Cup and the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 tournaments. Team India lost both tournaments in a disappointing fashion. The team management wants Bumrah to be back in action soon such that he can be fit and ready going forward into the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.

He should've picked Ashwin, honestly. Averages just 10.6, strike rate of just 83. Had Ashwin not dismissed him early in 2011 IPL final, things could've panned out differently.
