Satire: Gayle trolls Sir Jadeja on phone
Ravindra Jadeja: Hello, Chris. People are calling you the next Ravindra Jadeja. Let me tell you, there is just one and only one Sir Ravindra Jadeja.
Chris Gayle: Totally agree. I can never become a Jadeja. By the way, you scored a duck in the last game and conceded 45 runs in 3 overs. Naa, I can’t become another Sir Jadeja, never.
Ravindra Jadeja: That’s more like it. I’ve scored triple hundreds in domestic cricket. Have you? No.
Chris Gayle: No, maaann. But I did come close to getting a double hundred in a T20 game. If only I was playing for records, I probably would. . .
Ravindra Jadeja: My performances have made teams win more matches than yours.
Chris Gayle: Yes, if you are talking about the opposition teams, there is no competition.
Ravindra Jadeja: When there is 1 ball left and 2 runs to win, I still win it with 1 ball to spare, despite getting out.
Chris Gayle: Oh! I lose here too. When I’m batting, we win with 3 to 4 overs to spare. So, I’ve never got a chance to do that.
Ravindra Jadeja: Form is temporary, class is permanent. In a few days, the world will realise who’s better.
Chris Gayle: You meant to say ‘lack of class’, right Sir?
Ravindra Jadeja: Stop insulting me, you mortal. When you are batting, fielders may become spectators and spectators may become fielders. But when I’m batting, all fielders and spectators become devotees.
Chris Gayle: Yes, devotees like Priyanka Chopra in that Pepsi ad. Don’t worry, they end up cheering for me in the end.
Ravindra Jadeja: This is heights. Next time CSK plays RCB, I dare you to bowl to me. 6 sixes in an over, guaranteed.
Chris Gayle: I offer the same challenge to you. 7 sixes in one over guaranteed.
Ravindra Jadeja: How?
Chris Gayle: No-ball! What goes around comes all the way back around. Not a Justin Timberlake fan, are you?
