Chris Gayle”s blitz helped Kings XI Punjab to secure a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last home game at Mohali. The Universe Boss hit 104* in 63 deliveries with 11 huge sixes. This century is Gayle”s 21st overall in the T20 formats and he says he is still “enthusiastic and fit” for cricket.
Meanwhile, Gayle dedicated his century by his trademark “cradle” celebration to his daughter Kris Allyna Gayle, who is celebrating her birthday today. It is to be noted that Gayle was unsold till the last moment in the auctions and Sehwag made a difference by picking him for his base price of 2 crores.
In his post-match presentation, Gayle mentioned that” I dedicate this knock to my daughter Kris Allyna who is turning two tomorrow and my wife Natasha. It”s also my daughter”s first visit to India. “
Kings XI Punjab will play their remaining home matches at Indore. Gayle now hit 167 runs in two matches he played and was adjudged the MOM in both of them.
In his post-match presentation, Gayle mentioned ” I am always determined. I always give my all. A lot of people say Gayle has a lot to prove as I was not picked at auctions in first 2 rounds. I think the franchise has got their money worth. Now we move on to Kolkata. Time waits for no one. IÂ am not here to prove anything. Just go out, and enjoy cricket. Don”t forget the name. Give some RESPECT. “
It will be interesting to see Gayle “s approach towards the game in remaining matches, as well as the league, has a long way to go.
The Jamaican posted a video on social media that replicated his love for a daughter.
