Class in cricket is essentially Carribean ♥️???

The Universe boss @henrygayle slings his bat to mid wicket as @JofraArcher dislodges him on 99 with an astonishing Yorker.

There is an angry glare but he and Archer touch gloves as Gayle heads for the pavilion. pic.twitter.com/VWtPuIqj4C

Hold fire everybody – we got excited. It’s 80kms Chris Gayle has hit sixes, which is still – whatever way you look at it – a very long way ?

Solid innings from the Universal Boss #Gayle. #AbuDhabi witnessed the Gayle Storm today. Easily, the most dangerous player in the #T20 format, 1001 sixers! Woah.

The sportsmanship – Chris Gayle shook Jofra Archer's hand for bowling a beauty to knock him out on 99. pic.twitter.com/eoxaADb5cq

Chris Gayle thrown his bat after getting out on 99 in frustration, deserved a century here. What an outstanding knock it was. pic.twitter.com/xeU6vzfqGp

Chris Gayle – "In my mind this innings is a hundred". What a guy.

I don't know the records (about 1000 Sixes), I'm still hitting it well. The Hard work and the dedication over the years have paid off.

Chris Gayle is the only batsman in the IPL history to have two 99 score in the IPL. First one last year against RCB, and now today against Rajasthan Royals.

Chris Gayle at the age of 41 – charging for a single then with misfield he completed double. The energy and enthusiasm is second to none.
