Chris Gayle’s dominance in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is defined by power-hitting and sustained impact across multiple editions. Playing between 2007 and 2021, he accumulated 965 runs in 33 matches at a striking 142.75 strike rate and an average of 34.46, including two centuries and seven fifties.
Nicknamed the “Universe Boss,” Gayle’s ability to clear boundaries effortlessly made him a match-winner for West Indies, particularly during their title-winning campaigns. His fearless approach, explosive starts, and knack for changing games within a few overs cemented his legacy as one of the most destructive batters in T20 World Cup history.
