IPL 2020: KXIP's Chris Gayle provides health update from hospital, says 'will never go down without a fight'
Chris Gayle has been recovering from food poisoning in a hospital in the United Arab Emirates with the ‘Universe Boss’ yet to play a game for Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. KXIP coach Anil Kumble, last week, revealed that the West Indies opener was supposed to be part of the playing XI but went down with an upset stomach.
Gayle, who holds the record of most sixes – 326 – in IPL, took to social media platform Instagram to update his fans about his health as he wrote he won’t “go down with a fight”.
"I can tell you this!!! I will never go down without a fight!!," Gayle wrote on Instagram with a picture of him lying in a hospital bed in Dubai on Saturday.
