Finally, Royal Challengers Bangalore has signed Chris Gayle for the upcoming season of Indian Premiere League just one day before the transfer window closes i.e just one day before retaining players for your squad.
I dont know why they waited so long to sign the player who single handedly made RCB reach the finals of the fourth season of the Indian Premiere League. There was no bowler available to stop him with his explosive batting in IPL 4.
If RCB hadn't signed him today, then he would have been available for the auction starting on 4th Feb,2012 and then it would have been interesting to see which all teams are fighting to get a hand on Chris Gayle.
Reports say, that Mumbai Indians were very much keen on signing Gayle.
Last year RCB bought Chris Gayle as a replacement for injured Dirk Nannes for $560,000 and that's the price Gayle will officially continue on. So, RCB will move into the auction with this sum reduced from their $2 million purse but as it is heard Gayle will earn more from endorsements.
Well, i am just waiting to see how he performs in this season of IPL and can he produce the same kind of explosion with his bat as the last time.
HOPE SO!!!
