Years ago, when the 2019 Lok Sabha elections were approaching in India, there were rumors that Chris Gayle was going to hold an election rally in support of the Bharatiya Janata Party, but in reality nothing like this happened. But in 2021, when India sent the vaccine to Jamaica to deal with the Covid pandemic, Chris Gayle expressed his gratitude to PM Modi.
