IPL 2018: 4 wrong choices of players that could prove costly for franchises

Gayle was picked by the Kings XI Punjab in the last round of the auction at base price.

#1 Chris Gayle

Saint Kitts and Nevis v Trinbago Knight Riders- 2017 HERO Caribbean Premier League
With poor form and age not on his side, Gayle is not the first choice opener in IPL anymore.

A team that boasts of Aaron Finch, Yuvraj Singh, David Miller and KL Rahul have surprisingly added another batsman to enhance their already power-packed batting line up.

It will be interesting to see how much impact Gayle will make, or as a matter of fact how many games he will get to play. At the moment, chances of seeing him in first choice XI of the Kings XI Punjab look bleak. The Kings XI have taken a big risk by buying Gayle and compromising on fast bowling. The fast bowling resources are very thin on experience, with Andrew Tye perhaps being the only experienced overseas fast bowler in the team.

Time will tell, but as of now it looks like Preity Zinta and Co. have got their math wrong.
