Chris Gayle appears to have been chosen as Twenty20 cricket’s ambassador, as he scored the format’s first hundred and now holds practically every record in the sport, including the most runs (already over 10,000), most hundreds, fastest hundred, and most fours and sixes. Chris Gayle may stand over six feet tall and use his bat to make or break T20 leagues, but there’s no denying his love for Test cricket. Gayle has racked up 15 Test hundreds and over 7,000 runs across 103 matches and frequently wears the number 333 – his highest First-Class score, which he made against Sri Lanka at Galle to become only the fourth batsman after Don Bradman, Brian Lara, and Virender Sehwag with two Test triples in a lifetime.
He once swung a Brett Lee delivery past the Lord Tennyson school outside Oval! Renowned as one of the most brutal cricket ball batters of all time, he once swung a Brett Lee delivery past the Lord Tennyson school outside Oval! Gayle, along with other contemporary opening batters such as Tillakaratne Dilshan, Virender Sehwag, and later Brendon McCullum, forged a batting era typified by an unreal reliance on hand-eye coordination and fast run-scoring across formats. It’s no surprise that he was the first batsman to knock a six off the first delivery of a Test match. And it’s only just that he beat out Virender Sehwag to become the fastest double centurion in ODIs, scoring 215 off 147 balls in a World Cup match against Zimbabwe in Canberra in 2015.
Chris Gayle expressed his disappointment with Emirates Airline for refusing to let him board a flight despite having a confirmed ticket. The West Indies allrounder took to Twitter to criticize the airline for failing to keep a proper passenger count.
“So disappointed @emirates, I have a confirmed flight, and they’re gonna tell me that they are overbooked, WTF! Not only that, @emirates wants me to travel economy when it’s a business class ticket – so now I have to travel on a later flight! Just ridiculous, @emirates! Bad experience,” he tweets.
