Cricket fans in Srinagar thronged the Bakshi stadium to catch a glimpse of Chris Gayle in action in the Legends Cricket League match on Friday.

The 30,000 capacity stadium was packed to capacity as it marked the return of top level cricket to Srinagar after nearly four decades.

The ground erupted with chants of 'Gaylo sixer' when the West Indian walked out to the middle.

Playing for Gujarat Giants, the left-hander didn't disappoint the huge gathering, smashing three huge sixes during his knock of 34 from 30 balls.
