The Indian all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, who plays for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL), named West Indies opener Chris Gayle over Rohit Sharma in his team while picking his six-player “gully cricket” team. Hardik, during a chat with renowned cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle, was asked to pick six cricketers who he thinks will fit in his “gully cricket” team.

Hardik was given a list of five players as openers; Rohit Sharma, David Warner, Chris Gayle, KL Rahul, and Quinton de Kock and the all-rounder went for the West Indies batsman for the role while revealing that he was a big fan of Gayle and that is why he went with him.

Asked if he is planning to settle down in Jamaica or Trinidad after hanging his boots, the all-rounder denied but he did mention that he likes the confidence that the West Indies players bring on to the field.
