We needed someone to produce a champion-type performance, and who better than Chris Gayle to pull that off?” said Royal Challengers coach Ray Jennings. “What he’s produced tonight scares the hell out of me and hopefully will scare others going forward,” he added.
Gayle’s batting performance dismissed any concerns he might be suffering from post World Cup blues.
“I’m still a bit jet-lagged,” he said in an interview after the match.
As former India captain Sunil Gavaskar said, “When somebody like Chris Gayle bats like that, there’s very little the bowlers can do.”
Other teams won’t want to hear those words again, but the IPL and its fans should thank their lucky stars that Gayle has edged his way into the tournament this year, because he is a joy to watch. Gayle was made for this form of cricket.
“God is good, God is great,” he said after last Friday’s match. Gayle’s not too bad, either.
