Chris Gayle: "It was great fun. Good to be back. I wanted this so badly. 10000 runs was on my mind. Badree told me before the match that I am three runs short. It's a privilege to actually be the first to score 10,000 T20 runs. Pleased to get 77 runs. Hopefully we can finish off with a win tonight.
It (10,000 runs milestone) was actually playing on my mind a bit but once I got there, I thought it's time to have a go and it eventually paid off. I have a great bat, the Spartan bat. Virat batted well.
Great partnership between Jadhav and Head. Hopefully the bowlers can utilize the wicket; variation is key on this wicket.
The bat I got to 10000 runs with be in the auction and the money will go to charity. I wanted to use a gold bat tonight (laughs). Look for the Chris Gayle foundation... (he goes on to add that a special gold bat will go to the auctions, too).
(Hitting sixes) is not really premeditated; comes naturally to me. Want to thank all the franchises and West Indies. I want to keep entertaining and get a few more thousand runs."
