The fire still burns bright.— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) October 30, 2020Chris Gayle becomes the first cricketer to hit 1000 T20 sixes. That’s unreal. At 41, he has made a huge impact batting at 3 for KXIP. Selfless from Gayle to bat at 3 when he had 13k+ runs primarily as opener. Universe Boss is a LEGEND.
