He's a legend.
Here are some more Gayle's records.
The most runs (11056) - second most is BMac at 8526
The most 50s (67)
The most 50+ scores (87)
The most runs in a calendar year (1665 in 2015) - as well as the 3rd and 4th and 7th and 8th most too.
The joint fastest 50 (12 balls)
The fastest 100 (30)
The most 4s (833) - Second most is BMac at 803
The most 6s (819) - Second most is Pollard at 509
Most 6s in an innings (18) as well as the second most at 17.
The most runs from boundaries in an innings (154)
The most player of the match awards (53) - second most is Afridi with 29
The most innings with 10+ 6s (15) - second most is 2
And as far as I can tell, has carried the bat through an innings the most times.
Interestingly, he has played the 3rd most games at 320. Pollard leads the way with 399.

He's obviously faced all the top bowlers in domestic T20 matches and he's even taken them apart on a few occasions. But taking apart a top bowler is much harder and, therefore, much riskier, which explains why his international T20 record is not as stellar.
