Punjab Co Owner reveals about Gayle

New Delhi, April 28: Kings XI Punjab has bee doing the great performance in the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League 2018. They have lost only 2 matches in the IPL.

Speaking on this occasion, King XI Punjab co-owner Ness Wadia has made some comments on the team members here on Friday.

Chris Gayle has proved to be a bargain buy for Kings XI Punjab in the ongoing Indian Premier League but co-owner Ness Wadia has revealed the franchise almost lost the destructive opener at the auction, as they had nearly run out of cash. Gayle had unexpectedly gone unsold twice before KXIP bought him for his base price of Rs 2 crore.

"We had only Rs 2.1 crore left and if we had bid for Chris earlier and another team came up with a counter bid, we did not have the money to buy him. Luckily, no other team bid for him and we were more than happy to get third time lucky," Wadia said.

Yuvi is not among the runs at the moment but we hope that he will bounce back. He is of good value to the franchise and that is why we got him back,” said Wadia.
