Chris Gayle is known for his outgoing personality and engaging demeanor, always keeping those around him at ease with his infectious smile. During a recent interview about West Indies’ exit in the Super 8 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, Gayle displayed his dramatic flair by slamming his hand on the table. He joked about the pitches in the USA suffering from jet lag and happily posed for pictures with everyone.
As a co-host of the World Cup alongside the USA, Gayle mentioned how the tournament has helped elevate the sport’s profile in these regions. However, he expressed his belief that it would be better if the entire tournament was held in one region to give everyone a fair chance to host the full event.
Gayle emphasized the positive impact of the World Cup on the USA and the Caribbean, highlighting the ICC’s efforts to promote the sport in these regions. He suggested that in future, events like this could be held independently to maximize profitability while also helping revive love and passion for cricket in these areas.
Addressing bowler-friendly surfaces in New York City, where many of this year’s matches were played, Gayle humorously stated that he should have played to show them how to bat effectively. He jokingly blamed low-scoring matches on tired and jet-lagged nature of drop-in pitches brought from Australia.
