The 35-year-old Jamaican went on a Twitter-answering frenzy, labelling himself, “a boss,“ and generally doing what Chris Gayle does best; entertaining the masses.
After initially answering Tweets from friends, it seemed as though the rest of the world caught on, with punters firing off questions, and receiving more than amusing answers from the West Indian star.
Nothing was off limits for Gayle, answering questions from fans the world over, across a range of topics including his cricket career, drinking habits, and even his recent trip to Australia…
