"Unless something drastic happens to the Universe Boss again, which I hope not. You know it's still possible. I know we are at the bottom of the table but it is still possible," he added.

KXIP are currently at the bottom of the IPL 2020 Points Table with just two points from seven matches. However, Gayle believes that his side still can make it to the playoffs

"Seven games to go, we believe we can win all seven it is still possible. I urge each and every one of the guys to still have that self-belief as I said, the only way we can go is up is only up from here. So we gonna do it, we can do it," said Gayle.
