Ness Wadia News : He should play every game of next IPL': KXIP co-owner Ness Wadia heaps praise on Chris Gayle

 Kings XI Punjab co-owner Ness Wadia on Thursday said that hard-hitting West Indies opener Chris Gayle has done enough to play every game of the next IPL. The KXIP think tank surprised many when Gayle did not feature in their playing XI at the start of IPL 2020. It took seven matches for KXIP to bring Gayle in their playing XI and by that time the damage was already done. They lost six out of their first seven games.

Gayle was not picked for the first five games and food poisoning ruled him out for the next two. He scored solid 53 in his first game of IPL 2020 against RCB and eventually ended up with 288 runs at 41.14 including a 99.

“The team management did what it thought was best for the team. It is important to back experienced players and Gayle has demonstrated that he should play every game next season,” Wadia told PTI.

Gayle’s inclusion in the side also brought KXIP back to winning ways as they won five in a row to spice-up the points table.

The Rahul-led side needed to win its last league game against Chennai Super Kings to reach the top-four but it couldn’t.

We had been wanting to change the name since 2019, says Ness Wadia

 We needed to rebrand and reinvent ourselves after so many years,” the team’s co-owner said. KXIP is now Punjab Kings and its co-owner Ness Wadia on Saturday said the franchise needed to rebrand itself after so many years of IPL and the name change was something it wanted since 2019. Wadia feels Punjab Kings is a simpler name compared to Kings XI Punjab and will connect more with their fan base. "We just felt that we wanted to relook at things. We needed to rebrand and reinvent ourselves after so many years. As they say if something doesn't work, change it and try and get it working," Wadia told PTI, referring to the team's title-less run in the IPL since the event's inaugural edition in 2008. "Kings XI Punjab had a reference to the playing XI. Punjab Kings is more inclusive and will resonate better with the fans,” he said. Orginal Article Published on - The Hindu
