IPL 2023: Batting with Kohli was just fantastic, says Chris Gayle

Published on

IPL 2023: Ahead of the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, fearless left-handed batsman Chris Gayle reflects on his time with Virat Kohli, who played for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and was praised for his passion and work ethic. .

“We made so many great memories together. Those moments we’ll always cherish. Those dances will leave the floor, but I think you can see them on social media.” I will cherish them too.

“It was great playing Virat. I love his passion for the game. I love his passion and work ethic, which is great. I want to show that in it,” Chris told JioCinema.

During Gayle’s seven years at RCB, he and Kohli toyed with each other’s bowling attacks and sent the Chinnaswamy Stadium into a frenzy. But Gayle reminds everyone that 4 and 6 weren’t the only ones to do the trick, with a lot of focus on running between the wickets.

“We understood each other well. We complemented each other well. Some might say, ‘Chris ran between the wickets.’ Use that I ran between the wickets. “We have more than nine 100-plus partnerships. Look how many times we got 2 and 3. I was the fastest among the wickets. Don’t screw up,” he said.

Gayle went on to talk about Kohli’s reaction to winning the Orange Cup from him in the IPL season. “I remember being the holder of the orange cap, I was scoring goals and he was scoring a lot of goals at that time.” “So bang bang, two or three games, anyway, I’ve got the orange cap. Is that right?” It was just a funny thing that I will always remember.

Apart from putting up numerous 100-run partnerships with Kohli, Gayle also talked about all the dance moves they perfected together. “I share a dressing room with Virat and the other guys, once I’m there I’m always jovial and have a lot of fun, dancing and all that.

“I would show them a few moves and realize that Virat has the ability. He can move, you know. But if it’s an Indian dance, Chris Gayle wins. if it’s a Caribbean dance, Chris Gayle wins!”
