'There's no argument on this' - Chris Gayle hilariously declares himself as next Karachi Kings head coach

West Indies star batter Chris Gayle aka ‘Universe Boss’ on Saturday took on Twitter to share a hilarious tweet. In his message, the left-handed batter announced that he will be the head coach for franchise Karachi Kings from the next season of Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Karachi Kings finally got their first win in the ongoing 2022 PSL after they defeated Lahore Qalandars by 22 runs on Friday. This was Karachi Kings first victory in the ongoing tournament after they suffered eight consecutive losses — most by any team in a single edition. Babar Azam led Kings now also hold an unwanted record of the longest losing streaks in T20 franchise cricket. However, they managed to end their losing streak on February 18.

Meanwhile, sharing on Twitter, Gayle wrote, “Hey @thePSLt20 – I will be the new head coach next season for @KarachiKingsARY.T here’s no argument in this one! #UniverseBoss.”

A two-time T20 World Cup-winning superstar, Gayle has 1899 runs in 79 T20Is. He averaged 28.11 and struck at 137.31. In his whole T20 career, Universe boss has scored a total of 14,321 runs from 445 innings, including 22 centuries and a world record score of 175 off just 66 balls for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2013 IPL season. Gayle hasn’t played a Test match since 2014 while his last ODI appearance came in 2019. An all-format legend, Gayle has 7214 runs in 103 Tests and 10480 runs in 301 ODIs. He is a former West Indies captain too.

Coming back to Karachi Kings’ last match, after winning the toss, Babar Azam decided to bat first, however, the side kept losing wickets at regular intervals with Azam being the top scorer making 32 runs off 32 balls. After putting a total of 149 runs, Karachi bowlers had their task cut out. However, their bowlers applied pressure from the get-go by bowling tight lines and lengths which resulted in early wickets.

Contributions from Chris Jordan, Imad Wasim, and Mir Hamza resulted in Qalandars being restricted to just 127 for the loss of nine wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Mohammad Hafeez was the highest scorer for the Qalandars making 33 runs.
