Chris Gayle was released by RCB this year and bought by the Kings XI Punjab

The swashbuckling batsman was signed up by the Kolkata Knight Riders for the second edition of the IPL, but failed to do justice to his potential. In two seasons for KKR, Chris Gayle scored only 296 runs from 16 games. Next year, he was released from the squad and bought by RCB, which saw the emergence of Gayle 2.0.

In his debut game for RCB against his previous team KKR, Gayle scored 102 off 55 balls, hitting 10 fours and 7 sixes. In the following game, he scored another century, 107 off 49 balls and in the next match against Kochi Tuskers, he created a unique record, scoring 37 runs in a single over. Thereafter, Gayle owned the IPL like few others could, until his form started to wane in the 2017 season.

RCB released him from their squad and he was picked by the Kings XI Punjab this season. He has scored a 63 and an unbeaten 104 in the first two games.
