CHENNAI: Chris Gayle , one of the giants of T20 cricket who is here to support the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), spoke on a range of issues, including on T20's influence on Test cricket, the emergence of KL Rahul and the camaraderie he shares with Virat Kohli and Usain Bolt . Most of the players in our side play T20 competitions all over the world and have the experience needed to play in this format. Rahul is someone who will be giving Virat Kohli a run for his money, and he works extremely hard on his fitness and on his game. Test players who play T20s develop skills to score runs quickly. I think such tournaments could help spot local talent and that's good for the game.
