In a Mzansi Superleague match happening between Jozi Stars and Paarl Rocks of South Africa, the Jozi Stars player Chris Gayle made a funny gesture. The West Indian batsman was bowling to Paarl Rocks opening batsman Henry David. After he bowled, the ball hit the pad and Gayle appealed for an LBW funnily. When the umpire remained unconvinced, he went to the umpire and repeated his gesture of appealing. Watching that, umpire burst into laughter as well. Spectators in the stadium too enjoyed this spectacle.
Chris Gayle is considered one of the most destructive batsmen ever in Twenty20 (T20) cricket. He has set numerous records across all three formats of cricket.
