Gibbs is excited about the prospects of playing against veteran players such as Chris Gayle, and Suresh Raina and is thrilled to be witnessing the game of cricket again here at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex in Greater Noida.

Yeah, definitely. It’s nice. They (Gayle, Raina) got a couple of years younger than me. It’s lovely to be here. Like I said, those guys are all fantastic cricketers. They are still hungry. It’s always about wanting to win, irrespective of what your age is and what league you’re playing in,” Gibbs said in a statement.

Gayle and Raina have made an instant impact in the IVPL, smashing sixes and boundaries all around the park. Gibbs feels players will want to make their franchises proud in the ongoing League.

“Those guys, I’m sure, will want to prove what their worth is and make their franchises proud. It’s lovely to be able to witness some cricket again,” he added.

Reflecting on his role as captain, Gibbs, though acknowledging his limited recent experience in leadership roles, remains focused on contributing with the bat while emphasizing the importance of making astute bowling decision

“Well, it’s not much. The last time I was captain was at school. At my age, it was such a long time ago. It doesn’t affect you. My role primarily is to score runs. That’s the way I look at it,” said Gibbs.
