The West Indies cricketers' swashbuckling skills made rounds when he was an active cricketer and emerged as one of the most dominant cricketers. Popularly known as the 'Universe Boss' due to his attacking capabilities with the bat, Gayle rose to fame as a pure entertainer with the bat in the game. With the WI star now retired, he has anointed a Team India superstar as the new king in town who can deliver big shots to entertain the fans and aid the team by taking them out of pressure during a crucial match-up.
