Chris Gayle's Srinagar Show Steals Spotlight

Srinagar- The“Universe Boss”, Chris Gayle brought Bakhshi Stadium alive on Monday evening as he stepped onto Kashmir's soil to bat for the ongoing Indian Heaven Premier League 2025.

Although the turnout was initially modest, with only a few hundred spectators occupying the stands, the atmosphere shifted dramatically when Gayle walked out to bat.

Within minutes, the crowd grew to an estimated 2,000–4,000 as fans poured in, waving sweaters, dancing and shouting his name. With the music turning crazy, several were seen standing on seats and railings, phones raised high to capture the moment.

Eyewitnesses said the league officials later decided to open the stadium gates to the public, allowing free entry in a bid to fill the stands and ensure the cricketers received the reception he deserved.

“The moment Chris Gayle stepped on the field, the ground erupted,” said a local fan from Srinagar's old city.“We have only watched him on TV, but seeing him live in Kashmir feels unbelievable.”
