Earning the nickname 'Universal Boss' for his exploits on the cricket field for over two decades, except when facing the bowlers, Christopher Henry Gayle has always shown his lighter side both on and off the field. In a similar incident, the West Indies power-hitter's kind heart was witnessed when he surprised the Jamaican locals at a fuel station.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, Gayle, dressed in casual attire, can be seen paying the gas bills of everyone who visited the Texaco Gas Station in Portmore, Jamaica, that day. "It's your lucky day today," the former Windies opener could be heard saying in the video. "It's on me today," he tells a customer who arrived to fill up her car's fuel tank.
Gayle was seen taking selfies with some of the visitors as the locals were surprised not only to see one of the great cricketers but also to pay their bills. The video has caught the attention of the cricket fraternity and fans are appreciating the 'Boss'' kind gesture.

Gayle made his international debut for West Indies in 1999 and went on to become one of the greatest players in cricket history. Widely regarded as the finest batter to ever play Twenty20 cricket, the southpaw has scored 1899 runs in 79 innings in T20Is for his national team. He is the all-time highest run-getter in the history of T20 cricket and also has a record 22 centuries to his name.
In total, Gayle has amassed 19,594 runs across formats, of which 10,480 have come in ODIs. He was instrumental in the West Indies teams that won the 2004 Champions Trophy, 2012 World Twenty20 and 2016 World Twenty20. The Caribbean Storm is no longer a member of the West Indies squad across formats but has yet to announce his retirement.
