From India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to sprint king Usian Bolt, the twitter world today went crazy after Chris Gayle’s breathtaking T20 world record score of 175 off 66 balls.
Everyone doffed their hats at the Jamaican after he produced what will go down in history as the most talked-about innings in T20 cricket.
Dhoni, in fact, paid a tribute, joking that it was a good decision in hindsight that he took up wicketkeeping instead of bowling after watching Gayle’s relentless onslaught.
“Life is all about taking the right decision,seeing Gayle bat today I think I took the right decision of being a wicket keeper,” Dhoni tweeted.
If that was not enough, he again showed his witty side after the ‘Sir Jadeja series’.
“HAL suspends all test flts of TEJAS Light combat aircraft wenever RCB plays in banglore, no wonder its behind schedule.thanks to Gayle,” was another of his tweets.
Here are some of the other tweets of former cricketers and team owners that have been compiled.
