One of the most explosive and destructive batsmen in cricket history, West Indies and Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Chris Gayle is an all-round entertainment package on and off the field. When Gayle is around something eventful is bound to happen.
The Jamaican left-hander reminded us of his explosive class yet again when he ripped Kings XI Punjab apart with a devastating century during their IPL encounter in Bangalore on Wednesday.
From his stormy sixes to his calypso dance moves, here’s why this Jamaican heartthrob is the coolest cricketer you’ll ever know.
