In spot light

Chris Gayle (Team Abu Dhabi, batsman)

The Twenty20 legend who have scored mount of runs in sixes in the shorter formats, Chris Gayle will be no different in the T10 League as he will be playing his first game. Despite his failure in the both game, one cannot forget that with his experience and his power hitting, Gayle is a key wicket for opposition as well as for his team.

Tom Kohler (Pune Devils, Batsman)

Tom Kohler is an opening batsman and like all openers, gives his team a blistering start. He scored 54 in his side’s loosing match. Now that they need a win before they go to “Super League”, Kohler will be asked to perform big.
