IPL Auction 2018: 5 oldest foreigners on the auction list

#2 Chris Gayle (38 years 4 months)

Gayle wasn't retained by the RCB

The man refuses to fade away, despite increasing questions about his progressing age and the lack of regular match practice, coupled with numerous injury issues. When he seemed like a spent force and an unlikely contender for an IPL spot, Gayle smothered a century in the Bangladesh Premier League finals, the fastest in the history of the tournament.

The undisputed champion of T20s, Gayle is in a league of his own, and last year, completed 10,000 runs in the shortest format while playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore last year.

Before creating an unassailable legacy for RCB, Gayle played for the Kolkata Knight Riders and is currently the seventh-highest run-getter in the entire history of the tournament.

His current form is a cause of worry, and his base price the highest in the bracket, but the IPL continues to be synonymous with a blistering, marauding Chris Gayle.
