‘Maharaj ki buddhi brasht ho gayi hai’ – Fans troll Chris Gayle as he says KL Rahul can break his 175 record in Indian T20 League

West Indies veteran opener Chris Gayle recently told in an interview that the star India batter KL Rahul is one of the players who can break his record of the highest score in the Indian T20 League, which is 175 runs. It came off just 66 balls against the Pune franchise which included 13 fours and 17 sixes. Gayle also called the knock his most unforgettable knock in the Indian T20 League.

Gayle revealed that his record-breaking century against the Pune side was his most memorable Indian T20 League moment in an interview with Jio Cinema. “I have to say the 175, given the fact it is a record. Getting the fastest hundred off 30 deliveries was fantastic. That will always stand out. So that’s number 1,” Gayle said.
