Twenty20 cricket seemingly picked Chris Gayle as its ambassador, for he scored the very first hundred in the format and now uncontestedly owns almost every record there is, including that of the most runs (now 10,000+), most hundreds, fastest hundred, and most fours and sixes.

West Indies cricket team Founded: 1926

The West Indies National Cricket Team, also known as the Windies, is a cricket team that represents the West Indies region in international cricket.

Chris Gayle is a Jamaican cricketer celebrated as one of the greatest Twenty20 batsmen ever, nicknamed the "Universe Boss" for his explosive batting style. A powerful left-handed opener for the West Indies, he played for the team from 1999 to 2021. Gayle holds numerous records, including being the first to hit a six off the first ball in a Test match, scoring the first T20 international century, and achieving the highest individual score in a T20 league match (175*). He was a key member of the West Indies teams that won the 2012 and 2016 ICC World Twenty20 titles.

As of November 2025, Chris Gayle was not playing for a team but was a brand ambassador for the Lanka Premier League and participated in the now-defunct Indian Heaven Premier League (IHPL). The IHPL collapsed due to organizers allegedly fleeing without paying players and hotel staff, leaving Gayle and others briefly stranded in Srinagar.
