A man to watch out for in IPL-6

                   
                                 

                  After yet another Gayle storm in Bangalore, Virat Kohli, the Bangalore captain said that his team does not mind being seen as too dependent on Chris Gayle. The feisty all-rounder gave Bangalore the edge to clinch a last ball thriller against Mumbai by 2 runs in their opening match on Thursday.


                   Looking back to IPL-5 Chris Gayle was the fate changer for RCB and the most impacted batsman of  IPL-5. He ended up as the leading run-scorer in the round-robin stages of the IPL scoring 733 runs with a decent average of  61.08 and a fearsome strike rate of 160.74. Gayle scored 31% of his team's total bat runs during the tournament - Royal Challengers Bangalore scored the second-highest number of runs in their league games, with 2351. Gayle's stats in wins was especially awesome: his scores in the seven matches that Royal Challengers won were 81, 87, 4, 26, 82*, 57 and 128* - 465 runs at an average of 93, and a strike rate of 162.58. In defeats, he scored 268 runs in seven innings at an average of 38.28 and a strike rate of 157.64, which are pretty exceptional numbers by themselves. Gayle has also struck 59 of his team's 117 sixes, which is marginally more than 50%.

                         Above sats clearly suggests that Gayle was above the league in IPL2012 and its time to see how much the westIndian can entertain us and take the game forward. All the best Christopher Henry Gayle.
