West Indian big-hitter Chris Gayle has not been enjoying a good start to the 10th season of the Indian Premier league as he has failed to convert his starts to big scores this season. The batsman has failed to give the team momentum up the order and his team would be desperately hoping that the big man comes good in the next encounter against the Rising Pune Supergiant.

Royal Challengers Bangalore’s batting and bowling coach Trent Woodhill, however, feels that it is just a matter of time before the Caribbean player hits a big score. He also advises Gayle to follow the innings played by Virat Kohli or Keiron Pollard as they have mastered the conditions.

“Chris (Gayle) is hitting the ball very well in the net. He is not far away from making a big score, and hopefully, it happens tomorrow. Gayle has had a fantastic record here. Gayle and somebody else can take a cue out of the knocks played by Virat and Pollard, last evening. They mastered the conditions and came out with flying colours, with their bats,” Woodhill said as quoted by the quint

The coach also heaped praise on Mandeep Singh who is also struggling to find form this season. He believes that the player would come good in the next two games hailing him as a quality player.

“He (Mandeep) is a quality player. He did really well last year for us in the lower middle order. I am hopeful he will turn the screws on. He is going to come out blazing tomorrow or against Gujarat. He is a quality player. He did well to build a partnership in Indore with AB on a really tough surface. He started well in Hyderabad as well, so he will get his chance and I am sure he will grab it.”

It is a big boost for the Royal Challengers team that both Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers are back in the team from their injury.

“Having Virat and AB back is great, and we need to capitalise on their return and build our fortunes, and build it quickly in their presence,” he signed off.
