In his free time, Gayle urged his fans to ask him questions on micro photo-blogging website Instagram with a Hashtag ‘Ask me anything’.

Well, there was no doubt about the fact that his fans poured in with several questions. Among them, one of his fans asked him who was his cricketing idol. Without wasting much time, Gayle revealed that it was none other than Brian Charles Lara.

Lara remains one of the finest batsmen of all time. He played in a generation where there was always a battle between Sachin Tendulkar and himself. He might not be touted as the undisputed best batsman of his generation.

However, he was the greatest of many cricketing pundits. His individual score of 400 runs against England remains the highest individual score by a batsman in Test cricket.
