IPL 8 - Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, 5th Match - Eden Gardens, Kolkata (D/N), Indian Premier League 2015

Brilliant Gayle ends KKR's winning streak
Chris Gayle has proved once again that the Indian Premier League is his real playground. The big West Indian smashed his way to a 56-ball 96 as Royal Challengers Bangalore brought an end to Kolkata Knight Riders' winning streak of 10 matches at the Eden Gardens on Saturday night.
When KKR posted a solid 177 in Match 4 of IPL 2015, RCB needed a special effort to get over the line against a very strong bowling unit. Gayle provided that - after some reckless shots had the tourists reduced to 93 for 4 in 11 overs. Thereafter, the left-hander took it upon himself to see the team home and even a partisan Kolkatan crowd could do nothing but bow down to his brilliance. One full-blooded shot after another from the blade of his bat meant RCB started their campaign with a thumping three-wicket win in 19 overs.
