Chris Gayle roared back to form in the very first match that he played in this IPL. He scored 53 against Royal Challengers Bangalore to help Kings XI Punjab win a crucial game. He scored his fifty at 41, becoming one of the oldest players in the history of the IPL to score a fifty.

In the process, he has defied age and has proved that it is just the class of players that matters in this game of cricket and everything else are just secondary. While many say that this format is for the youngsters, experience has time and again come handy. They have scored the runs and picked wickets to win matches for their team.
