Ghaziabad (UP) April 14, 2025 (ANI): West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle expressed strong support for Indian cricket legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Gayle urged fans and selectors not to write them off too early, saying: "Without a doubt, Rohit and Virat still have a lot of cricket left in them. Let's not push them out already. The cricketing world needs those guys for as long as possible."
00:00You know what, I haven't been watching too many of the cricket, but I know they get a beautiful start, beating Chennai and Chennai, so that's fantastic.
00:09Of course they're still there, man. Those guys still have a lot of cricket in them. Roy Thundra, they still have a lot of cricket in them, without a doubt.
00:14Don't push them out. The media, don't push them out. The cricketing world need those guys as long as possible.
00:21So, you know what, I haven't been watching too many of the cricket, but I know they get a beautiful start, beating Chennai and Chennai, so that's fantastic.
00:30What, for 17 years? So, you know what I mean, like I said, I'm still backing them. Hopefully they can actually go all the way.
00:38I know we keep saying that every year, but he's a young captain as well. Looks really good, looks really positive as well, so hopefully he can actually continue that vein.
00:47The senior guys around him as well, he will get the full support.
00:51And another question, is Nicholas Puran the best key-20 batsman around right now?
00:56Oh, absolutely, absolutely. He's striking the ball so well. Maybe he's the one who can get a 175, 180 on his day, but he's in good form.
01:10I know he had a poor year in the IPL, so it's actually good to see scoring runs consistently as well.
01:17There's many other players who are doing great here in the IPL as well, so that's something fantastic.
01:21So, hopefully those battles can keep going.
01:23And the last question, Abhishek Shana played a phenomenal knock yesterday, 141 in just 55 balls, totally crushed on the rankings.
01:32Your views on the knock?
01:34I swear to God, I didn't see the knock, but damn, that's a fantastic inning from the youngster to score 141 in about 55 balls.
01:41That's fantastic.
01:43With the likes of Travis Head, those two guys have been going great guns, you know, great opening pair as well.
01:48So, it's fantastic to see two left-handers dominating.
01:52I mentioned Nicholas Puran at the time as well.
01:54So, yeah, it's a left-hander's IPL.
01:56And last question, Rohit were out for England toward ace-matches.
02:01They're still going?
02:02Of course they're still going, man.
02:04Those guys still have a lot of cricket in them.
02:05Rohit and Dredd, they still have a lot of cricket in them without a doubt.
02:09Don't push them out.
02:10The media, don't push them out.
02:12You know, the cricketing world need those guys as long as possible, you know.
02:17So, it's good to have those guys around from the international level as well because, believe me, those guys bring a lot of values and, you know, it doesn't matter who come after.
02:27There was always going to be somebody after, but the longer you keep those guys, you know, the better for the cricketing world.
