"Chris Gayle hit a powerful six against Jason Holder," wrote another cricketer enthusiast on Twitter along with the video of Gayle's six.
Gayle was added to St Kitts and Nevis Patriots squad for CPL 2021 following their below-par performances in the previous edition of the league, where they finished at the bottom of the table after winning just one match from 10 games.
Gayle had guided St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to the final in CPL 2017 as captain. However, he was not able to guide them to CPL glory as they lost the final to Trinbago Knight Riders.
And, it looks like, Gayle's appearance is already doing wonders for the team as they won their tournament opener by 21 runs against Barbados Royals on Thursday at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts.
Gayle scored 12 runs off nine balls with the help of one four and a six.
