Chris Gayle stands as an illustrious example of West Indian batsmanry, making history-defining sixes across multiple formats and garnering him the nickname of “Universe Boss”. Widely considered the greatest cricketer ever.
One of his greatest achievements was hitting a mammoth 158-meter six against South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg in 2013. This incredible six remains one of the longest ever hit in international cricket.
