Chris Gayle set to miss IPL 2022
Chris Gayle is one of the few foreign players who is loved as much as Indian players by the people of India. Over the years, the West Indian legend has brought entertainment to the world’s biggest cricket league with his power hitting, on-field antics, and swag.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Gayle has played a huge role in IPL’s success. That’s why it was a surprise for everyone when the universe boss didn’t register for IPL 2022. This season will mark Gayle’s absence in the IPL for the first time.
According to a report in Crictracker, Gayle, who is 42, might have side-lined himself due to age concerns. IPL will certainly miss the on-field entertainment provided by Chris Gayle.

• Chris Gayle extended wishes on India’s 73rd Republic Day on Wednesday.
