Our Special CorrespondentChris GayleNew Delhi: Till last season, Delhi DareDevils and Kings XI Punjab were regarded as two franchises who could never really fulfil their promise. After five matches, KXIP, under new captain Ravichandran Ashwin, are riding high with four wins from five matches. With Chris Gayle in devastating form, they certainly hold the upper hand when they take on the DareDevils at the Kotla on Monday. But for tomorrow’s match, the demands for tickets is very high, probably because of Gayle,” said an official. Gayle remained the key factor in KXIP’s back-to-back wins in three matches, but to say the Punjab franchise is totally dependent on the Jamaican would be wrong.
