Chris Gayle responds to Yusuf Pathan's special request, says ‘I guess he wants something from the Universe Boss’
Representing Giants, the former Windies skipper slammed a 40-ball 68, which featured nine boundaries and three sixes. Pathan, playing for the opposition, scored a match-winning 39 off 18 balls, a knock which saw the former India cricketer hit four sixes and a boundary.
Chris Gayle and Yusuf Pathan lighted up the Jodhpur crowd with their power-hitting display during an encounter between Gujarat Giants and Bhilwara Kings in the ongoing Legends League Cricket in Jodhpur.
Representing Giants, the former Windies skipper slammed a 40-ball 68, which featured nine boundaries and three sixes. Pathan, playing for the opposition, scored a match-winning 39 off 18 balls, a knock which saw the former India cricketer hit four sixes and a boundary.
Following the contest, Pathan mentioned that he has always tried to learn the art of power-hitting from his Windies counterpart. “The way Gayle bats is praise-worthy. He has always been a power hitter and likes to dominate bowling attacks. I get to learn so much from him," Pathan was quoted as saying in a release shared by the league.
The former India cricketer also had a special request for the Universe Boss. “I would really like to have his bat and keep it as a prized possession. I know that we both use different kinds of bats with different weights so I might not use his bat to play. But I would still want his bat and keep it as a memento,” the former India all-rounder added.
Responding to the special request, Gayle stated he is open to idea of exchanging bats. “He wants my bat and I don’t know why. But I guess he wants something from the Universe Boss. I might exchange bats with him,” he was quoted as saying in the same release.
The two power-hitters will once meet in the Eliminator on Friday.
