Chris Gayle, dubbed the “Universe Boss” from the beginning, asserts that there can only be one Universe Boss, and that’s him. After participating in the ODI World Cup, Suryakumar Yadav immediately shifted to competing in T20 matches. He took over the role of captain for India in the Twenty20 series against Australia, only days after the World Cup final. He had an incredible performance in the opening game, hitting four sixes and nine boundaries in just 42 balls to score 80 runs.
India already leads the five-match series 2-0 thanks to his batting and captaincy prowess. Cricket fans are raving about Suryakumar Yadav’s outstanding performance in the Twenty20 format. Some liken his all-around hitting to that of AB de Villiers, while others have dubbed him the “New Universe Boss” due to his consistent dominance against a variety of bowling attacks and in a variety of conditions.
“No, Gayle is not the same person. There will always be just one Gayle. There never has been and never will be. In response to a question from Hindustan Times during the Dehradun leg of the current 2023 Legends League Cricket, Gayle stated, “There will only be one Universe Boss, just one,” emphasizing that he is the only person eligible to wear the title.
Gayle added that he likes batsmen who can truly challenge bowlers and that Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian team, is one of them, and he applauded Rohit for his aggressive batting during the ODI World Cup.
“I enjoy his forceful batting style. Gayle continued, “I want batters to destroy bowlers, and Rohit is one of them.”
Virat was already exceptionally talented. Chris Gayle
Speaking of Virat Kohli, who during the World Cup eclipsed Sachin Tendulkar‘s record for the most ODI centuries, Gayle remarked that he was aware of how extraordinary a player Kohli had been when they were both part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team.
“Even in ODI cricket, he was already extraordinary when I played for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. In the past, it was not a secret. Everything was clearly in front of us, and it’s amazing to watch him reach his 50th century in one-day international cricket after that. It’s amazing to beat a record held by a legend like Sachin. The man has to be given all the credit he merits. That is amazing. Furthermore, I don’t see anyone approaching or surpassing it,” Gayle continued.
Gayle is now having fun representing the Gujarat Giants in the Legends League Cricket. Sharing the starting partnership with the famous player Jacques Kallis of South Africa makes him very delighted.
“It has given me everything, it is my life, and it is in my blood. That’s why it’s great to be here when you get to play cricket in a league like Legends League Cricket (LLC). Everyone benefits from the scenario, as stated by Gayle. It’s nice to be back with LLC for a second time. Sharing the changing rooms with every Legend of the game is a nice thing. It’s a terrific feeling to get to open the batting with Kallis,” he said.
