I&#39;m looking forward to seeing the fans, getting to know the city a little more and helping the team into the finals in BBL.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;The club has put together a really solid list of players and with a new coach, we&#39;re looking at a big summer at Etihad Stadium,&quot; the statement added.<br \/>\r\nGayle&#39;s arrival pairs him with Australia T20 captain Aaron Finch for the Renegades.Finch said he was delighted to have Gayle as his opening partner for BBL.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;It&#39;s huge to sign Chris Gayle, he&#39;s someone who has dominated this format over a long period of time. Along with AB (de Villiers), there is not many of them in the same bracket. He&#39;s the world&#39;s best I think,&quot; Finch told cricket.com.au on Friday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;He dominates a game, he can win a game by himself in very limited time. To have signed someone like him to open the batting with is going to be a huge bonus for the Renegades but also the fans who are going to get to see cricket&#39;s biggest hitter at Etihad stadium,&quot; he added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
