Chris Gayle, a former batter for the West Indies, is a true icon in the sport. In T20 cricket, Gayle will always be known as the "Universe Boss," and his achievements speak for themselves. Gayle has played in 462 games and amassed 14,562 runs in the format, including 22 hundreds. In the 2013 IPL, he destroyed the Pune Warriors India attack, setting a new mark for the highest individual score in the format with 175* (66).
There have been several players who have come close, including Aaron Finch (172), Hamilton Masakadza (162*), Brendon McCullum (158*), and most recently Dewald Brevis (162), but none of them have been able to break the mark. Gayle is at the summit, at least for the time being, despite the fact that many have predicted players like Jos Buttler and Suryakumar Yadav to overtake her.
Gayle chose a star batter in a conversation with JioCinem who would surpass Sachin's mark. He unexpectedly mentioned KL Rahul. KL Rahul has the potential to do so, according to Gayle, who played alongside Rahul for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings in the IPL.
"KL Rahul comes to mind for one. He can do it on his day. We've all seen KL Rahul on the move, and if he chose to bat like that occasionally, if not most of the time, which I'd love to see, he can get that. However, I don't think he believes in his ability to get that big score. He becomes extremely hazardous batting-wise when he moves from the 15th to the 20th [over] of the game. He can certainly surpass 175 if he gets off to a good start and hits a big hundred, Gayle said.
