I mean, honestly, when we were playing and when we were playing the IPL, yeah, you had the likes of Virat and Dhoni and everyone.
But genuinely, when Chris walked the room... You do not want to bowl at Chris Gayle.
Everyone stood up.
It's literally the aura he had.
I mean, it's very hard to match that aura, especially in the IPL and what he's done for the IPL.
I mean, people watched IPL because of Chris Gayle, which very few players could command that kind of respect.
Well, absolutely.
I think when I look back at IPL, I think I give a lot of credit to the success of IPL.
There are moments which made IPL what IPL is.
It's one of those knocks from Brendan McCullum, 170 in the very first game.
That, I think, that was a perfect start for an IPL.
IPL couldn't have asked for anything more.
And then it was Chris Gayle.
I mean, the sort of cricket he played and, you know, the way he is, the fans he can bring to the table, like to any anywhere he goes.
I've been very fortunate recently to play a couple of legend stuff with him.
And still you see him walking around anywhere.
And the fan following is God, especially in India, is second to none.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, he has to be.
