One of T20 cricket`s all-time greats, Chris Gayle has revealed that he opted out of IPL-15 because of lack of respect, saying he "wasn`t treated properly" in the last couple of years despite doing so much.
The swashbuckling West Indian has been one of the top performers with the bat since the inception of the lucrative league. After stints with Koklata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore, `the Universe Boss` joined Punjab Kings. But after enjoying a good 2019 season, when he finished as the sixth highest run-getter in the tournament, Gayle struggled to find a spot in the Punjab playing XI in 2020 and 2021.
