Gayle says he won’t be able to break Afridi’s sixes record soon

One of the most destructive batsmen in the world, Chris Gayle equalled the record of hitting the most number of international sixes with Shahid Afridi during the 3rd and the final ODI against Bangladesh, reports Cricketaddictor.

He smashed five sixes during the 3rd ODI against Bangladesh. The Windies opener has reached 476 international sixes which is on par with former Pakistan captain, Shahid Afridi.

However, Chris Gayle won’t be able to break this record anytime soon though he could have got past it in the T20I series against Bangladesh.

However, the destructive batter was rested from the shortest format. Hence, Gayle was unable to get past Shahid Afridi’s tally. As of now, Chris Gayle will get another chance to break the record only in December.

As per schedule, Windies won’t play international cricket till November following the conclusion of the T20I series. They will lock horns against Bangladesh yet again in a Test series. It will be the return leg of the current tour which is going on.

However, Chris Gayle is unlikely to take part in the longest format of the game. Hence, he will have to wait until the ODI series to clinch the record.
