West Indian storm batsman Chris Gayle observes that Test cricket is paramount because it tests players in many ways. Chris Gayle said this on Team India's opener Mayank Agarwal's show 'Open Nets with Mayank'. The teaser of the show was shared on the official Twitter handle of the IPL on Tuesday. Chris Gayle said that I must say that Test cricket is paramount. By playing Test cricket you know how to live life outside the field, because playing five days cricket is very challenging.
Chris Gayle said, Test cricket takes your test in many ways. How many times do you think before sleeping that whatever you do, you have to be in discipline. Also, when you are struggling, how do you go through a difficult situation. Chris Gayle played 103 Test matches in his career, but after 2014 he has not played any matches in the Test. Chris Gayle said, Test cricket is the best. While playing Test cricket you also get an opportunity to learn what life is like because playing five-day cricket is very challenging. It takes your exam in many ways. It takes your exam many times. This ensures that you remain disciplined in whatever you are doing.
Chris Gayle said that it also teaches you to come back from difficult situations. Indian captain Virat Kohli, Gayle's former partner in the Indian Premier League (IPL), also spoke in a similar manner. He claimed that he learned the lessons of living life while playing this traditional format. Chris Gayle has always been accused of focusing on shorter formats, but this 40-year-old cricketer advised the youth to focus on Test cricket. Also said that it is not to be so much merry in it that they should not feel anything other than life. He said, Test cricket gives you a chance to assess your skills, mental strength. Play it with dedication and enjoy what you are doing. Even if it is not in the game, there is a chance for you somewhere. Gayle said, so if one thing is not going on, always remember that there is a second chance for you. So if the cricketers do not succeed while being, then do not break your heart.
