Nicholas Pooran becomes the most expensive Windies player in the IPL in the clip “Money That I Lend You,” which features Chris Gayle poking Pooran.

Chris Gayle, a fellow countryman, was in a joking mood after Lucknow Super Giants made their first purchase of the day, Nicholas Pooran.

At the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 auction held in Kochi on Friday, there were a number of significant purchases. International allrounders were in high demand, with England’s Sam Curran leading the pack with a proposal from Punjab Kings of Rs 18.50 crore. West Indies wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran also received a nice deal (Rs 16 crore). Chris Gayle, a fellow countryman, was in a jovial mood because he was the Lucknow Super Giants’ first purchase of the auction day.

Gayle, who was invited to speak as an expert for JioCinema, said, “Nikki P, the money that I lend you, can I have it back please?”
