Young people tell Gayle not to retire




The fate of Kings XI Punjab has suddenly changed. The team won only one of the first seven matches. Preity Zinta's team is suddenly dreaming of a play-off. The points have moved to four in the table.


A win from the remaining two matches will ensure their play-off. Even in the middle of the IPL, the departure of the team that was almost certain, they have now become one of the favorites considering the form.


The team that has won only one of the first seven matches has won the last five matches. Such is the form that has brought them to the table over Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals. A small influencer has worked behind this.


Chris Gayle, who has been in the first seven matches of the IPL, has come down for the first time in the eighth match. The team has not lost since Gayle came down. That is why the young cricketers of the team do not want to think that Gayle, who is 42, can retire.


The Gayle-effect was felt once again against the Kolkata Knight Riders yesterday. Punjab started very slowly with a target of 150 runs. But after Gayle came down, the look of the match has changed completely.


Mandeep Singh made a pair of 100 runs from 61 balls. Gayle's innings was 51 off 29 balls. The innings took a turn in 2 fours and 5 sixes. After such an innings, Gayle was again overwhelmed with praise.


"I feel is very goods about the teams and myself," Gayle saids. That's what I'm using, but there's still a long way to go. There were two very good spinners, we had to adapt quickly. We have to quickly understand what they are doing.


And once you get a good start, the pressure on Mandeep has also decreased. Sunil Narine has dismissed me many times. He is the best spinner in the world. So if you get a wicket that is spinning the ball, you have to use it.


At the end of the match, Mandeep and Gayle, the two heroes of the victory, were joking among themselves. Gayle was interviewing Mandeep. There, Mandeep said, Gayle should never think about retirement.


In reply, Gayle said, "Retirement is canceled" and "there is no possibility of announcing any retirement so soon." She is in a great rhythm. I never saw him fall into discomfort. Gayle is probably the all-time T20 player.


Gayle himself is becoming a role model for young players. Mandeep lost his father at the beginning of the week. This batsman is coming on the field in such a situation. Gayle is trying to cope with the difficult situation in Mandeep, ‘Mandeep is going through a difficult time.


In the last match (Sunrisers) we all wanted to win for him. The way he looked up at the sky and looked at his father from above, how beautiful it looked! Today (tomorrow) the coach told the veterans that we have to come forward at an important time. We are happy that everyone was able to do that. The youngsters of the team are also saying, don't retire.
