He has scored these many while playing for 28 teams across the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The left-handed opener is also the only batsman in the world to have hit over 1,000 sixes and over 1,000 fours. He has hit 1,028 sixes and 1,083 fours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The left-handed batsman is 3,202 runs ahead of Kieron Pollard, who is second placed in the list of run-getters in T20 format.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gayle has played 430 matches, averaging 37.55, and has scored at a strike rate of 146.06.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He has 22 centuries, which are the most in T20 format. David Warner and Aaron Finch, who have eight, are next best on the list. He also has 87 half-centuries which are five more than David Warner&#39;s 82 in T20 format.<\/p>\r\n",
