If there was a scope for regret it would be missing out on Chris Gayle’s 23rd century. Facing England bowler Jofra Archer in the 19th over, Gayle got dismissed by a sharp yorker. Unable to keep his cool, Gayle was seen throwing his bat to the ground in frustration

In a mid innings chat, the Carribean player spoke about his “unfortunate” dismissal. He said, “Getting out on 99 is unfortunate, these things will happen but it was a good ball, still feeling good. To be honest, it’s all about the mental aspect of my game and that’s what keeps me going. I’m enjoying the cricket the same way. I’d love to have the IPL trophy under my belt, but still a long way to go.”

After Friday’s loss the team still has a chance of qualifying in the playoffs. They would need to defeat CSK in their last group stage game.
