For cricketers Kevin Pietersen and Chris Gayle, everything is a competition.
The off-field friendsĀ couldn’t wait for the start of theĀ Caribbean Premier League to take each other on, first choosing to put their big hitting to the test.
The ‘Big Six Challenge’ sees the England outcast go toe-to-toe with the West Indies opener to see who is the biggest hitter, and they weren’t holding anything back.
Pietersen has joined up with the St Lucia Zouks for the CPL Twenty20 competition, where he will take on Gayle’s Jamaica Tallawahs.
You imagine the close pals will be kicking back with some cocktails after their next meeting…all in the name of cricket, of course.
