It was a regular Saturday afternoon when the flamboyant West Indian batsman bowled over India’s biggest star, Amitabh Bachchan, who found himself at a loss of words at this surprising yet gratifying gesture from the West Indian sensation Chris Gayle.
Gayle confessed his love for Sr. Bachchan’s movies and style, and thus went on to gift him his signed golden-willowed Spartan bat.
Proud to gift my Spartan bat to a legend @srbachchan, love his movies & his style, legend. Thanks @spartancricket pic.twitter.com/VvoJxV3ynY
