Cricket has changed a lot over the years—Test cricket, the longest format, has been slowly sidelined by T20. A vast audience widely watches the shortest format of cricket—those who do not love to see sixes and fours. Many T20 tournaments are organized throughout the year.
CPL (Caribbean Premier League) features many power hitters, including Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, and Kieron Pollard, all of whom are nightmare bowlers. Having such big hitters in the league always guarantees a storm of boundaries.
In this article, how many sixes has Universal Boss Chris Gayle hit in CPL history?

#Chris Gayle (172 sixes)
He also has the record for most sixes in the CPL and is perhaps the best six-hitter in T20 history, leading the way in the IPL (350+) and holding a number of other six-hitting records in T20 around the world. His explosive front-foot power-hitting, especially to speed and spin, made him a fan favorite at Caribbean venues throughout his CPL career.
Chris Gayle is known for his aggressive intent; once the ball comes into his spot, it would travel out of the ground. Gayle has smashed 172 sixes in the CPL. He has been associated with the Jamaica Tallawahs and St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots. Across his 85 CPL matches, he scored 2,519 runs at an average of 36.50, including 4 centuries and 172 sixes. His career-best knock came in this record-breaking innings of 116 runs on September 10, 2019.
Gayle, who is known as the “Universe Boss,” played for the Jamaica Tallawahs in the early rounds of the CPL before he went on to play for the St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots. He shares the record for most CPL centuries with Dwayne Smith, with both having scored four hundreds in the tournament.
