On Saturday, after the amazing Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) entry into the playoffs, Universal boss Chris Gayle entered the dressing room of his team and was warmly welcomed by Virat Kohli and his team. Suddenly, RCB fans went into a frenzy after this event took place. Kohli’s former teammate was the first to congratulate him and inform him that he was the record holder for the most sixes in the IPL 2024 season.
The dynamic and energetic presence of former Indian skipper Virat Kohli and West Indian swashbuckler Chris Gayle revived memories of bygone days of the super fun spirit of team bonding in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru camp as they prepared themselves for the playoffs.
Kohli’s Milestone and Gayle’s Surprise
Kohli’s former West Indies teammate Gayle enquired about the pricing as a 50-year-old while flexing his muscles twice during a photo-op given to his former team. Kohli, whose four sixes in his 29-ball 47 against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) took his sixes tally in the season to 37 now has a total of 708 runs scored in 14 innings and has won the Orange Cap for the most runs scored in the season.
