Chris Gayle and Kevin Pietersen are known for putting their all in shots that reach the stands more often than not. So when the West Indian opener took on KP in a friendly duel for the biggest six recently, the ball indeed was the bloodiest casualty.
Smashed and smoked into smithereens, both Gayle and Pietersen decimated the ball in a bid to register the longest six. And while not taking strike, the two engaged in a humorous banter to mock each other down. "Hit the ball like a man, not like a girl," Gayle is heard telling Pietersen. "KP, I am coming for you and you're in big trouble."
Both attacking batsmen will be playing for opposing teams in the Caribbean Premier League T20. While Gayle will play for Jamaica Tallawahs along with other international stars like Mahela Jayawardene and Daniel Vettori, Pietersen will battle for St Lucia Zouks which is captained by Darren Sammy and also has Ross Taylor in its ranks.
