Anil Kumble, a legendary player of the Indian cricket team, is well acquainted with the Indian Premier League. He previously played for the Royal Challengers Bangalore team and later served as coach for the Punjab Kings franchise.
Despite having observed numerous domestic and international players compete in the tournament, Kumble has chosen West Indies sensation Chris Gayle as the Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T) in IPL history. Kumble commended Gayle’s explosive batting style and his ability to single-handedly alter the outcome of a match.
During a Q&A session on JioCinema ahead of the new season of the IPL, Anil Kumble stated that there are numerous players to choose from, making it challenging to select just one. However, he reflected on the impact of Chris Gayle, describing him as a larger-than-life figure with a unique playing style.
Kumble praised Gayle for his contributions to the Royal Challengers Bangalore team and the way he revolutionized the powerplay with his powerful batting. In a Jio Cinema episode of ‘My Time with Virat,’ Chris Gayle discussed his experience of sharing the dressing room with Kohli, achieving multiple 100-run partnerships, and perfecting their dance moves together.
Gayle stated that he enjoys being part of the dressing room with Virat and the team, always maintaining a cheerful and playful demeanor by dancing and engaging in various activities. He revealed that he taught them some dance moves and praised Kohli’s skills, acknowledging that he has rhythm. However, he playfully remarked that he would win in a Caribbean dance competition, but Kohli would triumph in an Indian dance competition.
