Gayle teases birthday boy Shehzad with cheeky message
West Indies hitting machine Chris Gayle took a jibe at Pakistan’s opening batsman and birthday boy Ahmed Shehzad on social media.
The bad boy of cricket Chris Gayle sent his wishes to Shehzad as he approaches to become the quickest to 5,000 runs, the 26 years old is only 17 runs short of this feat. Gayle, however, was of the view that Shehzad would miss out on the 5,000 club tomorrow at the National T20 Cup, as he thinks that Shehzad would manage only 15 runs.
Wishing my boi @iamAhmadshahzad the best of luck for those 17 runs to become the quickest to 5K runs tomorrow. I’ll be watching Pakistan’s #NationalT20Cup ... I think he’ll get 15
