IPL 2018: 5 players who could score the first century of the season

1) Chris Gayle

Chris Gayle has the most number

Kings XI Punjab faced a lot of criticism when they decide to splash a huge amount of cash to acquire the services of Chris Gayle for IPL 2018.

Chris Gayle was considered to be past his prime and has been tipped to struggle during the tournament. But he went out strong and ripped apart CSK's bowling line-up in his first game of the tournament. He scored a quickfire 63 runs in 33 balls and smashed the ball out of the fence four times.

The former RCB opener is one of the most successful batsmen in the IPL history and has 3689 runs to his name. He holds the record of hitting the most number of sixes in the IPL history and was also the Orange Cap winner in the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

The West Indian has the most number of IPL centuries (5) to his name. Also, after finding his scoring rhythm in his first game for the Lions, Chris Gayle is now among the favorites to hit the first century this year.
