Manchester: West Indies' Chris Gayle addresses a press conference on the eve of their World Cup 2019 match against India at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on June 26, 2019.

West Indian cricket idol Chris Gayle became the latest sporting star to join the video sharing platform TikTok on social media.

While it is not sure what exactly Gayle will be up to on the platform, the first video that he has posted seems to suggest that he is in the mood for some banter and lots of fun as a TikTok star.

In the very first video that he has posted, Gayle pops up right at the end of the clip. Before him, a couple of young guys face the camera and strike a few poses. Then, Gayle, clad in light grey shorts and a deep grey T-shirt with the word "attitude" written on it, comes into the frame and strikes a pose of swagger. His trademark grin and rasta hairdo are very much in place.

By the end of Friday, Gayle's video had garnered 234K likes.

Let's wait and watch, what the Windies master blaster has in store on planet TikTok.

Apart from Chris Gayle, celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor has also joined the platform to share expert tips on cooking.
