Universal boss Chris Gayle’s rain of runs in the Indian Premier League will not be forgotten by the audience. The left-handed batsman has played for Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings in the money-rich IPL. He has played in 13 of the 15 seasons so far.
The star also holds a handful of batting records. The 43-year-old West Indies star was a nightmare for bowlers. Gayle holds the record for most sixes in IPL history. 357 sixes in 142 matches. Former South African player AB de Villiers is second with 251 sixes.
All the world’s top bowlers in the IPL have warmed to Gayle’s bat. However, Gayle has revealed the name of the bowler who made the star drink water. The fans are also surprised when he says that the bowler who did not get him out even once gave him the most headache. Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh have dismissed Gayle the most times. Five times each.
However, none of them is the bowler who drowned the star. That bowler is Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah. ‘That’s Bumrah. I wouldn’t pick an off-spinner like Bhaji or Ashwin, definitely Bumrah. His slow ball is almost difficult to play and his deliveries are exceptional. I choose Bumrah’ – revealed Gayle.
Bumrah and Gayle have faced each other ten times. However, Bumrak might not take Gayle’s wicket even once. Bumrah conceded only 37 runs from 48 balls thrown at Gayle.
