PSL 2021 live: Chris Gayle claims to be the head of all Prime Ministers

Gayle, who was playing for the Quetta Gladiators in the sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League recently, was at it once again as he reacted hilariously to former Pakistan cricketer Imran Khan being the Prime Minister of the country. Recently, in an interview during PSL 6, speaking about Imran Khan being Prime Minister of Pakistan, Gayle said that it is fantastic to see a cricketer in the post of Prime Minister.

However, he revealed that in the Caribbean, it is totally different as every island has its own Prime Minister. Gayle further quipped that he is the original Prime Minister of the entire Caribbean because he is the 'Universe Boss'. The southpaw stated that with all due respect to all the Prime Ministers in the Caribbean who he loves, he is the actual Prime Minister. Gayle's comments left many hysterical on social media, as it stayed true to Gayle's fearless and flamboyant style as well as nature.
