Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) player Chris Gayle was seen sharing a fun time with spinner Yuzvendra Chahal after the match between Punjab Kings and RCB in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) which shows their off-field friendship as well.
Notably, Punjab won by 34 runs in Match 26 on Friday and after the game, both of them were seen in the bare body which left fans nothing but to laugh out loud. While the West Indies player was posing with his big and burly body, Yuzvendra Chahal was looking like a baby in front of him and fans started giving hilarious reply on it as well.

As far as the game is concerned, PBKS captain KL Rahul led from the front and smashed a well-made 91. Even Chris Gayle too played a blistering knock before missing the fifty by a whisker. On the other hand, RCB’s middle-order failed miserably which included in-form Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers. Even, opener Devdutt Padikkal also failed to score big. Although Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar steadied the ship in the middle, their strike rate was low which didn’t help them as well.

After the win, KL Rahul said: “We were preparing Brar. On a pitch like this, we felt like we needed a finger spinner who could hit hard lengths. He did exactly that and batted really well in the end as well. I am young myself, but I have been trying to speak to the boys and pass on whatever experience I have of IPL and international cricket. They are blessed with enormous talent and we have to prepare them for the situations and the pressures they’d face in the middle as the captain and the support staff. Really makes me and the support staff very happy.
There is nothing in particular against RCB, but all matches against them have been must win games for us because of when they come in the tournament. It was important for me to lead from the front and that’s what I try to do every game. When I have the opportunity to put pressure on bowlers and set targets, I try to do it to the best of my ability. It came off well today. There is a lot written about Gayle, about his age and whether he should be playing. But I know as a captain, just his impact he has when he walks out is huge. I have played with him for 7-8 years and he keeps getting better and better. He is batting at three, something he hasn’t done ever in his career, but he’ll do that for the team. That’s the kind of man Chris is. He takes pressure off me at the top.”
