Why Chris Gayle join IPL 4? Why Chris Gayle left West Indies team with tournament with Pakistan?
Chris Gayle kicked off his IPL 4, 2011 with a blistering ton including a century, while his team West Indies are 0-2 down in the five-match series against Pakistan.
According to WICB chief Ernest Hilaire, "it didn't exactly work out with Chris, but when the point came and he said he was not available for selection, we did give him the NOC because it is not about revenge, it is not about denying him the opportunity."
Chris joined IPL 4 by leaving his team in running tournament whose team is 0-2 down. If Chrish would be there in the team, the result would have different. Australia is another team where they joined IPL only after finishing their tournament with Bangladesh.
But According to Chris Gayle,
"I didn't have any thoughts about IPL4. I had written off IPL4, rather I was looking forward to it next year. I should have been there (in the West Indies) playing with the national team, but I am here. It is unfortunate but that is how it is"
Gayle was surprisingly dumped from the West Indies side for the first two matches of their one-day series against Pakistan, which led to a frustrated Gayle joining Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL.
