He is just ahead of India’s Suresh Raina.
The left-handed Gayle notched two half-centuries in this weekend’s contests, which the first-ever sanctioned cricket matches in South Florida.
Gayle is just now making his return to West Indies Cricket after a long hiatus due to a contentious relationship with coaches in 2010, something for which Gayle later expressed regret.
