  • Chris Gayle is West Indies leading T20i run-maker.

    West Indies batsman Chris Gayle has racked up some awesome statistics in the 20-over format of the game and arguably poses the major threat to England in Sunday’s World Twenty20 final.

    Here Sport360 looks at Gayle’s numbers, and how they stack up against England’s T20 squad.

    1,515 T20 international runs – 121 more than England’s all-time leading scorer Eoin Morgan.

    98 T20 international sixes – a world record and more than England’s record six-hitters Morgan (60) and Alex Hales (37) put together.

    17 T20 centuries – England’s 15-man World Twenty20 squad have just five between them

    2 T20 international centuries – Hales scored England’s solitary format ton against Sri Lanka two years ago.

    8,830 runs in all Twenty20 cricket – a world record and 1,832 more than second-placed Brad Hodge.

    637 sixes in T20 cricket – England’s current squad have 760 between them.

    145.39 – Gayle’s T20 international strike-rate is higher than any English player (minimum 20 innings). Kevin Pietersen’s

    141.51 is the English record, with Jos Buttler’s 139.4 the highest among the current squad.
