Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) are set to begin their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 campaign against Delhi Capitals on Sunday and Chris Gayle looks to be in a good mood ahead of the fixture. KXIP posted a video on their Instagram handle that showed the West Indies cricketer grooving to a Bhojpuri song along with bowler Harpreet Brar. The video appears to be shot in the team bus and shows the relaxed and jovial side of Gayle even before a crucial match. Youngster Brar also looks like he is in a cheerful mood with music in the background.
Brar was signed by KXIP ahead of the 2019 season while Gayle joined KXIP in 2018 and has played in 125 IPL fixtures since 2009.
