5 reasons why the Big Bash League will miss Chris Gayle

#5 Exciting High Scoring Games

No Gayle Storm

Fans love watching high scoring games. Nowadays no fan is patient enough to sit and bear a game which is extremely low scoring and snail-paced in nature.

They instead prefer watching the ball sail into the stands. Chris Gayle guarantees exactly that. His presence at the top of the lineup brings excitement and delight in an average cricket fan’s heart. If he walks out to set a target and performs which he does more often than not, the chances of a 200 plus score being posted increase dramatically.

Any score can be chased down if the Jamaican is out there on the pitch. Two out of the top 10 IPL highest team totals ever have been possible majorly because of Chris Gayle’s impact.

The BBL misses out on this as a result of Gayle’s absence. Though players like Bravo and Pollard ensure high scoring games, Chris Gayle’s presence has a different charm altogether.
