Chris Gayle has not played international cricket for West Indies for a relatively long time.
This time it was the Emirates Airlines on his target, which had made the error of not allowing him to board the plane, which they had allegedly overbooked. Gayle claimed on Twitter that he had a confirmed ticket and still was stopped from boarding. Ultimately, he says that he was given a choice to travel in economy class or take a later flight in business class.

Gayle tweeted, “So disappointed @emirates, I have a confirmed flight and they gonna tell me that they are overbooked, WTF! Not only that, @emirates want me to travel economy when it’s a business class ticket - so now I have to travel on a later flight! Just ridiculous @emirates! Bad experience.”
Gayle is the leading scorer for West Indies in ODIs with 10480 runs in 301 matches with 25 hundreds and is the only batsman with over 10,000 runs in all three forms of the game including domestic and international cricket. He last played in an international match in August against India and scored 72 runs off 42 balls at a strike rate of 175.60. India defeated West Indies in that match by seven wickets, courtesy Virat Kohli’s brilliant hundred.
