“I was lonely and bored, needed company at the top” Chris Gayle welcomes Virat Kohli to the Ton Club
Virat Kohli on Thursday smashed a stunning 100 in 63 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad and took Royal Challengers Bangalore to victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad do-or-die match. Virat Kohli scored his 6th ton and equalled Gayle’s record of having the most number of hundred in the IPL
“Welcome young man and welcome to the highest century makers club. I was bored. I was lonely and bored. I was like ‘I need some company at the top’. Now I have got it and we can have a talk now, Virat,” Gayle told JioCinema on Friday.
Praising the RCB skipper, Gayle said it was a superb inning by Faf du Plessis also
“He was so aggressive from ball one. When he hit that first boundary, he was like ‘It’s my day today and I am going to make it count’. He delivered for his team. Virat seldom plays a lot of sweeps, but to see him play sweeps against left-arm spinners was lovely. It was a superb innings and he was complemented by Faf as well,” he stated
