'I was lonely and bored, needed company at the top' - Chris Gayle welcomes Virat Kohli to highest century makers club in style

Chris Gayle, the ‘Universe Boss’ of cricket, has welcomed Indian captain Virat Kohli to the exclusive club of international players who have scored 100 or more centuries in their career. Gayle, who has 103 centuries to his name, congratulated Kohli on social media, stating: “Welcome to the club, brother.” Kohli reached his 100th international century in the third ODI against Sri Lanka. Gayle, who is known for his flamboyant style both on and off the pitch, highlighted the feeling of loneliness and boredom that comes with being at the top of the game, making the need for company all the more important.

While the two have been fierce competitors on the field, Gayle’s gracious congratulatory message shows the camaraderie and respect that exist among elite players. Gayle, who has a reputation for explosive performances, is one of the most flamboyant cricketers of his generation, having scored over 19,000 runs at an impressive strike rate of 146.94.

Achieving 100 centuries in international cricket is a rare, remarkable feat, and it serves as a reminder of the skill, hard work, and dedication required to achieve greatness in any field. As we celebrate Kohli’s and Gayle’s successes, we are reminded of the importance of perseverance, talent, and respect in sports and in life.
