Gayle will be a huge asset for the Punjab side

Royal Challengers have surprisingly not retained Chris Gayle for the 2018 season. He had a poor IPL last year and this prompted many IPL teams to overlook him. He went unsold twice before Kings XI Punjab finally decided to buy the Jamaican.

The West Indian batsman has an extremely impressive IPL record, amassing 3626 runs in 101 matches at a mind-boggling average of 41 and an extraordinary strike rate of 151. He has 5 centuries against his name and has scored the tournament's highest individual score of 175*.

Gayle is by far the most destructive batsman of this generation. He is an asset to any team when he is in form. He would like the Mohali wicket where the ball comes on to the bat and this year may well turn out to be his most successful year in IPL. Gayle at such a low price is amongst the best buys in IPL history.
