West Indies legendary batter Chris Gayle turned 44 on September 21, 2023, and he received a lot of wishes from fans and fellow cricketers alike. Former cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh are on the list who wished Gayle on his special day. Gayle was born on September 21, 1979, in Jamaica in a very humble family background. Ever since he started playing cricket, his career is filled with many feats in all the formats of the game.
"Happy birthday my brother from another mother! Love you #UniversalBoss! Make sure you paint Jamaica red tonight @henrygayle," Yuvraj Singh tweeted.
Sachin on the other hand, wrote Happy birthday to one of the cleanest hitters of the cricket ball. Have a good one, @henrygayle!”.
