The numbers themselves tell a tale. Pune\u2019s highest run-getter is Robin Uthappa (353 runs at a strike rate of 115.35) but Steven Smith is the one who has provided some spark (301 runs at 142.65). Juxtapose this with Gayle\u2019s 515 runs at a strike rate of 149.27 and AB de Villiers\u2019 292 at 171.76 &#8211; how Pune wished they had some of Bangalore\u2019s ammunition in their arsenal!.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Pune captain Sourav Ganguly didn\u2019t mince words about how Gayle could make mince-meat of his bowlers. \u201cYou have to get him out, that\u2019s the only way. Bangalore have handled him well by asking him to bat through the 20overs.If he does that, he could do a lot of damage,\u201d the former India skipper conceded here on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Deccan Chargers captain Kumar Sangakkara has predicted that Kolkata Knight Riders will win the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). \u201cOn form, I\u2019d say Kolkata (Knight Riders),\u201d Sangakkara said. \u201cKolkata have been playing exceptionally well. I think you have to give credit to the way Gautam (Gambhir) has managed to get those guys to gel together. They have some top quality in that side,\u201d he said, according to a <strong>DNA <\/strong>report.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile a report in <strong>Hindustan Times <\/strong>says that keeping their temper in check seems to have become a problem for Mumbai Indians players. \u201cAfter Munaf Patel was fined twice for boorish behaviour, skipper Harbhajan Singh joined him as he argued with the umpire for not giving Kumar Sangakkara out. Now, it\u2019s Rohit Sharma who has fallen on the wrong side of the law. In the comprehensive defeat against Royal Challengers, Rohit\u2019s part time spin was smashed by Chris Gayle and the player kicked the stumps in frustration after the big-hitting West Indian player\u2019s match winning hit. Rohit was reprimanded for breaching the IPL code of conduct after admitting his mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the second consecutive season Bangalore have been reaping the dividends of signing up explosive West Indian opener Chris Gayle, says an article in The Times Of india, adding that the left-handed batsman has almost single-handedly brought the team to the brink of playoff stage. \u201cGayle\u2019s firepower consumed another strong rival, Mumbai, on Wednesday and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[1455,3043,4353,1249,1520,724,544],"class_list":["post-5971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-from-the-newspapers","tag-chris-gayle","tag-kolkata-knight-riders","tag-kumar-sangkarra","tag-mumbai-indians","tag-robin-uthappa","tag-rohit-sharma","tag-sourav-ganguly"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u2018Gayle Storm\u2019 if not controlled early can do a lot of damage: Ganguly - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
