IPL 2018 : 5 Players who got a chance and surprised many this IPL

2. Chris Gayle (KXIP)

Chris Gayle has smashed 15 sixes in 2 games

After the auction, Virender Sehwag who is the mentor of KXIP said that Gayle has been bought mainly for the marketing purpose. So, it was pretty clear that he would not get a chance until some of the big names in the team fail.

But surprisingly, he was given a chance in the 3rd match, and he was absolutely sensational. He surprised, even more, when he smashed his 6th IPL century against the best bowling attack this year.

He hammered the No.1 T20 bowler for 4 consecutive sixes. He has smashed 15 sixes in just 2 games and right now is 3rd on the leading run scorers list. Once Gayle gets going, everybody enjoys except the bowlers. Let’s hope that he keeps smashing those big sixes into the crowd.
