#1 Chris Gayle

The 'universal boss' Chris Gayle scored only 200 runs from nine matches for RCB last year, following which he was released and bought by Kings XI Punjab for ₹2 crores. He did not play KXIP's first two matches of this season, but when he got a chance in the third one he made the most of it with a 33-ball 63. In the next game, he played even better, scoring a knock of 63-ball 104, reminding his critics that he has enough fuel left in his tank.
"I think Virender Sehwag saved the IPL by picking me," said Gayle after his sixth IPL century that came in Mohali.
