“Srinagar, what’s up! It’s Chris Gayle, the Universe Boss himself, and I’m here with some exciting news. I will be a part of the Indian Heaven Premier League that kicks off on October 25 until November 8... You're going to see lots of superstars and more big names added to the tournament as well," Gayle said.
