As they take on Kings XI Punjab at the MPCA Stadium here on Monday night, all eyes would to be on a certain gentleman called Christopher Henry Gayle. The rejuvenated Bangalore side are now up against Kings XI, who too would feel confident after upsetting Rising Pune Supergiant by six wickets in their own den in an earlier game on the same day. Suddenly, most things looked like falling in place for RCB. What would add to the experienced Aussie's confidence is the way his gamble on left-arm spinner Pawan Negi bowling his first, and the match's last over, when 19 were needed with a rampaging Rishabh Pant at the crease, paid off.The RCB attack looks well-rounded and threatening. While Billy Stanlake and Tymal Mills bring good pace to the table, leggie Yuzuvendra Chahal and left-arm spinners Iqbal Abdulla and Negi combine to be a decent spin attack.
