Christopher Henry Gayle, OD (born 21 September 1979) is a Jamaican cricketer who plays international cricket for the West Indies. Gayle captained the West Indies Test side from 2007 to 2010. Regarded as one of the best batsmen of all time, Gayle has set numerous records across all three formats of the game.

Gayle is the first ever batsman to hit 1000 sixes in T20 cricket.

In February 2019, Gayle announced that he would retire from ODIs after the 2019 Cricket World Cup.

He went past Brian Lara's record of 10,348 runs.Gayle wore a special jersey number 301 on his last ever ODI against India as he was playing his 301st ODI. In December 2020, Gayle was included in the ICC T20I Team of the Decade.
