Chris Gayle Blames Current Openers For Killing Entertainment In T20 Cricket- Know Reason Here
West Indies legend Chris Gayle has criticised the modern-day openers for “killing the entertainment” in T20 cricket with their cautious approach in the power plays.
I think, with T10 cricket, that’s how T20 cricket started. From the first over, batters used to go but T20 cricket has slowed down dramatically and T10 cricket has now raised the bar a bit. They’re killing the entertainment in T20 cricket, straight up, because, in those first six overs, we can get more as openers but guys are taking their own time,” Gayle was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.

I don’t know why batters get so cagey during the first six overs. When T20 cricket started, guys were going from ball one, if you really check the history of T20 cricket looking back on it. I don’t like that fact, I think we should go hard, keep the entertainment that is within the game of T20 cricket and continue to keep that aggression in the first six overs,” Gayle added.
Gayle’s Team Abu Dhabi are currently top of the Abu Dhabi T10 table with five wins from five matches. The 42-year-old Jamaican veteran is confident that this could be the year that Team Abu Dhabi lift their first T10 title.
