But gayle

Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports: Pawan Negi's scintillating innings of 139 runs off 56 balls led VVIP Uttar Pradesh to a commanding 45-run victory over Telangana Tigers in the sixth match of the ongoing Indian Veteran Premier League (IVPL) held at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex, here on Monday.

The match was marked by the highly-anticipated return of ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle in IVPL, who received a warm reception from fans. Gayle's explosive knock of 94 runs from 46 balls, featuring three fours and 10 sixes, showcased his batting prowess, although it wasn't enough to secure victory for Telangana Tigers.

VVIP Uttar Pradesh scored a massive 269/4 in the allotted 20 overs and then restricted Telangana Tigers to 224/8 despite a Gayle masterclass.
