The former West Indies left-handed opening batter, Chris Gayle, was present during the season two of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 in England, where their side didn’t do well and got knocked out of the group-stage after their defeat against India, who qualified into the semifinal clash, which later on was canceled against India due to political reasons.
Along with Gayle, there were several notable players of the Caribbean side, including Dwayne Smith, Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, L Simmons, and others. Their batting wasn’t up to the mark in the three-week competition, even though Fidel Edwards breathed fire in a few games. But Gayle, the skipper of the side, looked forward to making a strong comeback for next season of WCL.

‘It’s a bit of mixed feelings, and I'm disappointed to get knocked out of the competition. But I must say the second season of WCL was fantastic and well put together. We did have a bad season, but we will learn from the mistakes and come back next season bigger and stronger. The fans were excited, especially the Indians, who support the West Indies, but they also want to see good cricket.’

‘From here, the memories of the Caribbean will be good to see the players we haven’t seen for a long time. Some of them have finished their career a bit too early. But it’s good to see them back in the cricket field. Some youngsters might get a chance to see some of the legends, which is very good.’ Gayle added.
When asked whether he would want to spend some time in the middle or against his old teammates from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Virat Kohli and Ab de Villiers, the southpaw had a smile and excitement on his face.
‘We (and Virat Kohli) had some great times on and off the field. It was great to share the same dressing room. Like I said, he is a phenomenal player and a legend of the game. He is still playing, which is good news. But we will miss him whenever he fully quits. The best moment will be to see me, AB de Villiers, and Virat sharing the ground in the future WCL.’ Gayle concluded.
