Amid the coronavirus pandemic, when the world has come to a standstill, ICC has managed to keep its fans engaged with their delectable throwbacks. Gayle is one of the most feared batsmen in the game for his explosive style of batting. He recently played in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) where he told reporters about crowds still wanting to see him and that is the reason why he is still not even considering retirement and said he would like to continue for as long as he can.
