5 reasons why Chris Gayle nearly missed an IPL contract

#4 Not dependable

It's no denying the fact that Chris Gayle has been the best batsman in the shortest format of the game. Scoring over 11,000 runs in T20s is not easy and he carries enough experience as a batsman after scoring all those runs. But it's evident that he is not a player who can be banked upon for getting the runs.

Gayle may score a big hundred on his day while on other days he gets out cheaply. This has now become a frequent problem with him. This was one of the biggest reasons that he was not considered a retention option by Royal Challengers Bangalore.
