Gayle became the first batsman in World Cup history to score a double century when he reached 200 off 138 balls
against Zimbabwe during the 2015 World Cup. He finished on 215 runs, which was the record for highest score in a
World Cup until it was broken by Martin Guptill against Gayle's own team.[5] He is one of the five players to
score a double century in ODIs. In March 2016, Gayle became only the second player (after Brendon McCullum) to
hit two Twenty20 International hundreds, scoring 100 not out against England.
He plays domestic cricket for Jamaica and also represents the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League,
the Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League and the Dhaka Gladiators in the Bangladesh Premier League.
Gayle captained the West Indies' Test side from 2007 to 2010.
He has also represented the Melbourne Renegades in the Australian Big Bash League, Worcestershire, the Western Warriors, Sydney Thunder, Barisal Burners, Kolkata Knight Riders and Somerset in his career. He was also selected for team Uva Next f or the inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League in 2012.
