Explosive Gayle in Delhi's way

Explosive West Indian Chris Gayle's threat looms large over Delhi Daredevils as they take on an unpredictable Royal Challengers Bangalore in their Indian Premier League match here on Tuesday.

Gayle, who remained unsold in the IPL 4 auctions earlier this year and came in the RCB team only as a replacement for injured pacer Dirk Nannes, made his return in grand fashion silencing his former team Kolkata Knight Riders with a thunderous ton.

In a spot of bother with one win, three consecutive losses and an abandoned match, the left-hander provided the much needed impetus to the Bangalore outfit, inspiring the team to a comprehensive nine-wicket win over the Knight Riders the other day.
