IPL 2018: Gayle storm didn't end on the field; a wild celebration followed KXIP win

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) are on a roll in the ongoing season of Indian Premier League (IPL) as they have won three out of 4 matches they’ve played. It is the Chris Gayle storm which has arrived in the last two games for Punjab and the idea of picking him in the auction has proved to be a masterstroke. The other night they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) side who were yet to lose a game in the tournament until then. However, the team was upbeat after the victory as they celebrated it by cutting the cake along with the owner Preity Zinta.

Gayle became the first centurion of the IPL this year as he smacked the ball all over the park. He took a special liking to the World number 1 bowler Rashid Khan and dismissed him into the stands as many as 6 times during his unbeaten stay in the middle. It was a much-awaited battle between two of the best players in the business and the Universe Boss won it hands down.

Gayle cuts the cake

Chris Gayle is always at the centre stage of every celebration and even after the victory over SRH, he was enjoying the moment with his team. The whole squad got together after the win in the night and they cut the cake only to celebrate the 6th IPL century of the big man from the Carribean islands. While Gayle cut the cake and had a piece of it himself, his teammates smeared it on his face. The owner of the team and Bollywood actress Preity Zinta was also present on the occasion and she also enjoyed with the team.

Preity too smeared the cake on the face of Gayle as the party began in KXIP camp. The team has gelled together so well this year under the watchful eyes of Virender Sehwag and are looking like a team to beat.
