"It is very special to be right here at the Chinnaswamy Stadium" - Chris Gayle
At the RCB dressing room, Gayle recalled the fun memories he has had at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, which he thinks is the best place to play cricket. The Jamaican stated:
"It is always good to be back where you have fun memories. It is good to see the guys in a very important game. For me, it is very special to be right here at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. One thing I noticed the roof, brand new, I know I have done some damage. I hope someone can put a dent in there and make it entertaining like the Universe Boss. I got goosebumps. This is the best place to play cricket, the atmosphere is brilliant and the fans played a big part during my career with RCB."
The Royal Challengers will face the Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator.
