Kings XI Punjab - Chris Gayle
Ahead of the 2018 IPL auction, Chris Gayle wasn't retained by Royal Challengers Bangalore, and to make things worse, the West Indian went unsold on the day one of the auction. His name came up for the second time and once again, there were no bidders for him.
The auctioneer called out his name for the third time and Kings XI Punjab poached him for his base price of Rs. 2 crores.
While other things played it safe by not opting for him thinking he is finished, Virender Sehwag and Preity Zinta showed a lot of faith in the Jamaican and it is paying off for them now as the southpaw is in a dashing form in the 2018 IPL, in which he has scored 311 runs in just seven games at an average of 62 and a strike-rate of 150.
