IPL 2021: Chris Gayle misses fifty in Punjab Kings opening game for first time since joining franchise in 2018

IPL 2021, RR vs PBKS: Chris Gayle hit a 28-ball 40 for Punjab Kings in their season-opening match against Rajasthan Royals in Mumbai on Monday. This is the first time the Universe Boss has missed a fifty for Punjab Kings in their first match of a season.

Chris Gayle looked in top form as early as the first match for Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. The big-hitting West Indies great got off to a fine start, hinting the possibility of a 'Gayle Storm' against the Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. Chris Gayle, however, missed out on a well-deserved fifty as he was caught by Ben Stokes in the long-on when he tried to hit part-timer Riyan Parag into the stands. Gayle needed just 22 balls for his 40 as he hit as many as 4 boundaries and 2 sixes. IPL 2021: RR vs PBKS Live Scores and Updates
