Chris Gayle, the renowned West Indian batsman, has disclosed why he did not partake in the Indian Premier League\u2019s 15th edition\u2019s mega auction, claiming that he was mistreated in the previous two editions.<\/p>\n
Chris Gayle told the Mirror UK in an exclusive interview, \u201cFor the last couple of years, the way the IPL went about, I felt like I wasn\u2019t treated properly. So I thought \u2018okay, you didn\u2019t get the respect you deserved after you did so much for the sport and IPL.\u2019 So I said \u2018okay, that\u2019s it, I\u2019m not going to bother to enter the draft,\u2019 so I left it as it is. There is always going to life after cricket so I\u2019m just trying to adapt to normality\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext year I\u2019m coming back, they need me! I\u2019ve represented three teams in the IPL, Kolkata, RCB and Punjab. Between RCB and Punjab, I would love to get a title, with one of those two teams. I had a great stint with RCB where I was more successful within the IPL, and Punjab, they\u2019ve been good. I love to explore and I love challenges so let\u2019s see what happens,\u201d the 42-year-old further added.<\/p>\n
With 4965 runs in 142 matches, the left-handed Jamaican is a star in the Indian Premier League. He began the tournament with Kolkata Knight Riders and spent his most prolific years with Royal Challengers Bangalore before joining Punjab Kings.<\/p>\n
Gayle has several IPL records, including the highest individual score in the league\u2019s history (175*), the most sixes in an innings (17), the fastest century (30 balls), and several others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
