Chris Gayle’s big revelation
Chris Gayle said during a podcast on Subhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel that his IPL season with Punjab Kings had ended too soon. He said, “I was disrespected in Kings XI. I felt that even though I was a senior player, who had done a lot for this league and created brand value, I was not respected properly. I was treated like a child. This was the first time I felt I was going into depression. I cried while talking to Anil Kumble because I was so sad. I was disappointed with the way the franchise was doing.”
Gayle further said, “KL Rahul called me and said, ‘Chris, you will play the next match’ but I just said, ‘Good luck to you’ and packed my bag and went out.”
