Gayle takes his place in the KKR side
Ahmedabad: The Kolkata Knight Riders will be bolstered by the arrival of West Indies skipper Chris Gayle who is all set to play against the Rajasthan Royals in the franchise’s fourth IPL game in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
Team manager Joy Bhattacharya confirmed us about Gayle's arrival. "He arrived in Mumbai last night. And today morning he will travel to Ahmedabad. In fact, he will reach even before the rest of the team,'' Bhattacharya told iplt20.com.
Gayle will be replacing Rohan Gavaskar in the Kolkata Knight Riders squad.
Gayle arrived in Mumbai after leading West Indies to a 4-1 ODI series win over Zimbabwe at home. The Knight Riders squad will be flying to Ahmedabad on Wednesday morning.
Gayle is coming off a good run against Zimbabwe. He topped the batting chart with 273 runs, which included three half-centuries and a highest score of 88.
Meanwhile at Kolkata, the Knight Riders' first team players didn’t turn up for training as it was an optional session. The reserves, however, trained for a couple of hours under coach Dav Whatmore.
