Gayle hits 104 not out to lead Punjab side to IPL victory

Gayle followed up his solid showing against Chennai Super Kings with an even better performance against a lineup that is regarded as the best bowling contingent in the tournament.

By then, Gayle had brought up his sixth IPL ton and 21st in T20s overall in just 58 deliveries, with a squeezy drive to point off Kaul and thereafter unleashing his trademark "Baby in the arms" celebration.

"I'm always determined, wherever I go in the world and whichever franchise I represent", the destructive left-hander said.

"A lot of people might say Chris has a lot to prove, [since] I didn't get selected, didn't get picked up earlier in the auction". Gayle was not picked in the IPL auction initially before Punjab chose to take T20 cricket's most successful batsman for his base price of Rs 2 crore. Since joining Kings XI, Sehwag told me to stick with the yoga guy and a massage guy, that's the secret, I guess (laughs). "This is a brilliant start". "I'd like to have another word with Viru".

It is good to see Gayle returned to the party with that flare when his critics ruled him as a spent force. He's fabulous with all the marketing guys, everyone loves Chris Gayle.

Summary: Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to bat first.

"Nobody is a greater entertainer than him", Sehwag said. We are all proper batters to [be able to] go there and express ourselves.

I didn't have my chance, but you can see when I did get my chance I proved some people wrong. I play still on the wing, not No 9. "I play for the team and everyone can see that".

After being offloaded by the RCB, KL Rahul has found his new home to be fairly productive - in their first game, he blasted the fastest fifty ever in the IPL and has provided brisk starts ever since.

He has made only two appearances so far but played a big innings each time. He will certainly keep his place at the top, after a fifty and a hundred in his first two games. This is the final home game in Mohali, and I'm going to miss this wicket.

Pacer Bhuvaneshwar Kumar got rid-off Nair in the 18th over but Gayle continued to hamnmer every Hyderabad bowler.

With their premier spinner leaking runs, Sunrisers were forced to look beyond their frontline options. But that was part of Gayle's "calculated" plans.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, playing their fourth match, with three successive wins, met their first success as Rashid Khan trapped leg before wicket in 7.5 overs. "I think he was very smart about it not to take too many risks against the pacers (early on)", he said.

During the post-match presentation, Gayle reinforced that sentiment, suggesting he wanted to enjoy his game while earning further respect. "Time waits for no one".

He added: "I'm not really here to prove it to anyone".
