In a fun ‘This or That’ game by RCB, Virat Kohli names Chris Gayle as the best T20 opener, edging out Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar.
Reflecting in his own achievements as a key member of the West Indies side to lift the trophy in 2012 and 2016, the destructive former opening batter shed light on the euphoria of final wins over Sri Lanka and England, respectively.
"Never in my life, I imagined that I will break the Chris Gayle’s record,” Rohit was quoted as saying by Youtuber Vimal Kumar.
RCB Innovation Lab is based on two principles, to bring sports innovation to as many people and to collaborate with innovative organisations.
Following a long association with RCB (2011-2017), Gayle moved to Punjab Kings in 2018, playing for them till 2021. But the charismatic West Indian batter decided to stay away from the mega auction ahead of the 2022 season
The 42-year-old opening batter, on the other hand, stated that he is looking forward to returning to the IPL next season and winning the title for either Royal Challengers Bangalore or Punjab Kings. Gayle has played for KKR, RCB, and Punjab Kings during his long IPL career.
Root had previously said that he would have to sacrifice IPL for England and Test cricket, but the absence of Stokes, Archer, Starc, Woakes, and Gayle was a bit surprising.
"A lot more runs to come and showcase what I am still capable of... still plenty left in the tank," said Gayle, who scored only 4 and 13 respectively in the first two T20Is.
Australia needed a win to have any chance of staying in contention in the series, but didn’t post enough runs.
