The West Indian legend recounted beating Virat Kohli in an unofficial contest to win the Orange Cap. “One thing I remember, just to go back a bit, I remember Virat was the Orange Cap holder one particular season. I was getting runs but he was more of the guy at the time scoring a lot of runs. Then, bam bam, two or three games, whatever the case may be, I became the Orange Cap holder. He was like, ‘man this guy just came in, bang bang bang, and became the Orange Cap holder?’ It was just a funny thing that I’ll always remember,” mentioned Gayle.
Gayle featured in 142 IPL matches whereby he scored 4965 runs at a mean of 39.72 and strike price of 148.96.
