Wankhede Witnesses Vintage Gayle as Bowlers Look For Cover
Electing to bowl first, Mumbai bowlers have travelled the distance as Gayle has completed yet another 50.
Universe Boss Chris Gayle was back to his vintage best as he smacked the Mumbai bowlers all around the park. Electing to bowl first, Mumbai bowlers have travelled the distance as Gayle has completed yet another 50.
He hit three sixes and a four to Jason Behrendorff off his very first over. The left-armer went for 23. He then quietly played out Jasprit Bumrah’s over, where he went off for just three runs.
He was finally dismissed on 63 after he tormented the bowlers for seven sixers before Beherendorff came back to dismiss him in the 13th over of the Punjab innings. He was caught at the deep-mid wicket boundary by Krunal Pandya.
While fans at the stadium erupted with joy every time he hit a six, Twitter went crazy over Gayle’s power-hitting.
Here are some of the best tweets on Gayle’s innings.
