Adani Sportsline-owned Gujarat Giants signed 15 cricketers in a virtual draft on Friday and spent more than 5.5 crore that day. The franchise then wishes to add Gayle with their remaining purse value. Gujarat Giants earlier signed some legendary players, including Virender Sehwag, Graeme Swann, Daniel Vettori, Kevin O’Brien, etc. for this season. Now, having Chris Gayle in the squad means Gujarat has become one of the most powerful sides in the league. Lendl Simmons of the West Indies will be with him.

On the international front, last year, Chris Gayle himself said that he hasn’t officially retired from the T20Is and would like to be a part of another World Cup. So far, there are no chances of Gayle making it to the squad, but his inclusion in the Legends League Cricket will attract millions of cricket fans.

Apart from this league, the Road Safety World Series is also set to take place from September 10 with Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar leading the India Legends. Tendulkar helped India Legends win the inaugural edition of the Road Safety World Series by beating Sri Lanka Legends in the final.
