Chris Gayle was hailed by the experts for his scintillating knock under pressure in the previous game. In a wicket that isn’t the comfort zone for him, he managed to rotate the strike and hit the boundaries at the required times to form a good partnership with KL Rahul that sealed the game.

It was one of the most important cameos from Chris Gayle as Punjab were desperate to get back to winning ways and the big man delivered at the right time. Gayle’s ability to clear the ropes easily was an added pressure on the bowlers and his 43 off 35 balls was the need of the hour.

He hit two sixes and five fours to keep up with the run rate. His good form can make him the match-winner against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
