Miss You Chris Gayle:
However, it is a disappointment to most fans that a few of the heroes who did not leave the minds of the fans for the first time in this series did not participate. In particular, former India star Suresh Raina, who is now only 35 years old, has not played in the series for the first time due to a lack of form in recent times.
Due to that, the commentator has incarnated and the fans are satisfied to see him in between the IPL matches. AB de Villiers, the South African player who became known as Mr. 360 Degrees among the fans for hitting fresh shots like him, did not participate this time as he has retired with last year due to age.

Chris Gayle returns:
He has played in action for Kolkata, Bangalore and Punjab since 2008. He has flown several Himalayan sixes and has been entertaining fans for a long time. In particular, he scored 175 * in a match against the Pune Warriors in 2011, making him the highest-scoring player not only in the IPL but in the history of T20 cricket as a whole. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most popular batsman in IPL history all over the world with 357 sixes, the highest number of sixes in IPL history and the highest number of centuries.
Gayle, who is generally known for his ability to play action, was hailed by fans as a hurricane and stumbled when he played for the Punjab team for the past few years due to his past 40 years. In that position he was part of the start of last year’s IPL series and was halfway out of the 2nd division in Dubai. He was unable to participate in the IPL series this year as he did not register his name in the recent auction following that. Chris Gayle has announced that he is set to make a comeback in the IPL series through the 2023 season.
