The past couple of seasons haven’t been that great for Chris Gayle. He has barely managed to score more than 400 runs in a season since 2016. Hence, he nearly went unsold in last year’s auction before being picked up by KXIP. With 368 runs in 11 innings, he managed to perform decently for his new franchise. He hit a century and three half-centuries in the process.

The destructive southpaw will look to make an even bigger statement in the upcoming edition of IPL. In the recent ODI series against England, Gayle looked in scintillating form on his way to two centuries. He even scored a blistering 162 in the fourth ODI.

Considering the IPL is just a few days away, Chris Gayle should have no problem carrying over his form into the IPL. If that happens, then every IPL franchise will be put on high alert as it will be raining sixes.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the Universe Boss finishes the tournament as the highest run scorer.
