PSL 2021 live: Chris Gayle mocks Shahid Afridi, has advice for youngsters

Chris Gayle recently interacted with Geo Super. During the interview, the West Indies batting juggernaut provided some tips for the youngsters who want to develop their careers in power-hitting. Gayle said that the proper strategy for hitting big sixes is reading the “situation of the game” and breaking it down “stage by stage”.

The 41-year-old also used this opportunity to troll his six-hitting rival from Pakistan, Shahid Afridi. When asked why Pakistani batsmen are inconsistent when it comes to power-hitting, Gayle laughingly responded, “Maybe they were trying to follow Shahid Afridi”. The two-time T20 World Cup winner stated that instead of trying to hit every ball for a six, a batsman needs to target a bowler he can score and should accordingly take advantage by scoring maximum runs off.
