As West Indies batting legend Chris Gayle turned 40 on Saturday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) Cricket World Cup’s Twitter handle did not hesitate to indulge in a bit of leg-pulling. In the video posted online, Gayle is seen taking over the duties of a cameraman and having fun with his Caribbean Premier League side Jamaica Tallawahs teammates. When asked about having a natural flair for the camera, he replied that the ‘Universe Boss’ made things look easy. Basically, he was referring to his own nickname. Thereafter, he panned the camera onto the pitch and predicted that he would score a double century there. Finally, Gayle conceded that batting was much easier.
