#1 Chris Gayle
The biggest surprise of Day 1 of the IPL 2018 Auction was Chris Gayle remaining unsold. The burly West Indian has been one of the most successful openers in IPL history and will be a perfect opening partner for Rohit Sharma if Mumbai Indians bid for him on the second day of the 2018 auction.
The very thought of Gayle and Sharma opening the batting on a flat Wankhede wicket will be a nightmare for the bowlers. The presence of Gayle in the Mumbai Indians line up will have a positive impact on the rest of the batting line up as well.
Trending
Gayle averages over 41 in 10 seasons of the IPL and has an impressive strike rate of over 150. On his day, Gayle can win matches on his own and he showed that he has not lost his touch just yet with his performances in the recently concluded Bangladesh Premier League.
Gayle should be the first pick for Mumbai Indians amongst the unsold players.
