West Indies legend Chris Gayle, who was known for his towering presence and big-hitting style, has made some interesting calls during the “choose one” round on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast. Chris Gayle has thrown out two of his former RCB teammates' names—Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.
The first question was whether he would choose Indian batting superstar Virat Kohli or Pakistani star batter Babar Azam. Gayle initially hesitated for a moment, but then confidently went with his former RCB teammate.
He said, “I don't even know why I'm choosing that, but let's go with Virat then.”
Then, the Universal Boss had to pick between Suryakumar Yadav and AB de Villiers. India’s T20I captain has often been compared with the South African legend AB de Villiers for his ability to hit the ball across the ground against both the pacers and spinners.

Even Suryakumar is dubbed as the modern era’s “Mr. 360.” However, this time, Gayle didn’t think twice and picked AB de Villiers. Well, Shubhankar Mishra then threw a tough task, bringing back the Sachin Tendulkar versus Virat Kohli debate during the discussion.
However, it was an easy question for Gayle, as the Caribbean great just smiled and picked Sachin Tendulkar over Virat Kohli, paying tribute to the Master Blaster’s immense contribution to the game and his status as one of the all-time greatest batters the game has ever seen.

He said, “I'm going to go, Sachin.” When asked to pick between Jacques Kallis and Hardik Pandya, Gayle ignored the Indian star, who is now playing only white-ball cricket, and went with the legendary South African all-rounder.
He hailed Kallis’ contribution to the game over the years with both bat and ball. The final question was about fast bowlers, and the legendary batter had to pick between Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi and India’s Jasprit Bumrah. Gayle picked Bumrah over Afridi, thanks to his stunning performances across the formats for the Indian cricket team.
