Former West Indian batting great Chris Gayle found a unique way to show support for both teams playing in the Indian Premier League final at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on the Punjab Kings in the summit clash, and the ‘Universe Boss’ has famously played for both franchises in the IPL.
In a bid to not show loyalty to only one of the teams, the 45-year-old Jamaican wore an RCB top and sported a turban to throw weight behind both sides.
