"Spending Time With Shah Rukh Khan...": West Indies Legend Chris Gayle Recalls Unforgettable IPL Memories
Spending time with Shah Rukh Khan, is one of the most unforgettable IPL memory for left-handed batter Chris Gayle.
Indian Premier League (IPL) is one tournament which mixes both entertainment and sport, and hence fans are in for a true spectacle on the 22 yards. Bollywood celebrities such as Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla own Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) while Preity Zinta has a share in Punjab Kings. SRK has often been seen partying with cricket legends, and hence it is no surprise that left-handed batter Chris Gayle featured SRK in one of the most unforgettable IPL memory.
After leaving an indelible imprint in the IPL over the years, West Indies legend Chris Gayle picked his top three ‘Unforgettable Moments’ from the decade-and-a-half history of the league.
“Spending time with Shah Rukh Khan off the field, it was something fantastic and superb. What a gentleman he is, and I will always cherish those moments and respect those moments. King Khan, my respect, Sir," Gayle said on Jio Cinema.
Gayle was also quick to recall his blistering knock of 175 against the Pune Warriors in 2013. “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 No. 1.”
Gayle also remembered his century against his former team Kolkata Knight Riders on his RCB debut. “Making my debut for RCB against Kolkata. Getting a century on debut against my former team in Kolkata, in Eden Gardens as well. That was pretty much fantastic.”
Talking about SRK, the superstar is currently basking in the glory of 'Pathaan' success at the box office. The film has become the first Hindi movie to cross Rs 500 crore at the domestic box office.
Shah Rukh Khan will also be seen in 'Jawan' and 'Dunki' this year. While 'Jawan' is being directed by Atlee, 'Dunki' is helmed by Rajkumar Hirani.
