West Indies vs Australia: Chris Gayle Discards The Universe Boss Term
Rather than the “Universe Boss” which he had coined for himself, Gayle only had The Boss written on his willow. And the opener revealed why he had opted for the change with him revealing ICC’s copyright rules had seen him discard the word universe.
However, the West Indian was quick to assert that despite the change in name, he continued to remain the boss and not the ICC.
“ICC don’t want me to use the Universe Boss. So I have shortened it and just put ‘The Boss.’ I am the boss,” Gayle said.
