The tall and lanky Jamaican is renowned for his big hitting. Chris Gayle comes at the top order believes in winning duels in a hurry and leaving the rival bowling attack demoralized on a given day. He believes in taking fight to the opposition right from the word go.
He loves to carve through the cover region off the backfoot. His only concern is whether the scoreboard reflects quick changes or not. Besides that he bowls part time off-spin and is a good fielder.
The reputation of the bowler hardly seems to bother Gayle. He just strides his way to the crease and play is natural game and his in-born instinct gleams through.
