Dream11 IPL 2020: Gayle reveals funny chat with Mayank ahead of 2nd Super Over vs Mumbai

In what was one of the most nail-biting finishes in the tournament's history, let alone the Dream11 IPL 2020, Punjab came out on top against defending champions Mumbai on Sunday. The clash saw the first instance of a double Super Over being played in the IPL after the boundary count rule was scrapped after the 2019 World Cup final. In a match that could have gone either way until the second Super Over, Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal ensured that Punjab snatched a valuable two points in what was a must-win contest for them.

In a fun interaction with Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle talked about his emotions as he walked in to bat in the second Super Over against Mumbai. The West Indian great said that he wasn't nervous at all while coming in to bat despite the tense situation. The former Bangalore star revealed that he was angry that the match had reached this situation and had not been settled by his team before it got to this.

The 41-year-old said that the Punjab pacer nails his yorkers consistently in the nets and did well on Sunday. He also praised Chris Jordan for his efforts in the second over, while reserving special praise for Mayank Agarwal, who saved a certain six with an acrobatic save on the boundary. The win moves Punjab to sixth in the Dream11 IPL 2020 standings, while Mumbai retain second spot.
