IPL 2020: Chris Gayle returns to training with Kings XI Punjab after spell in hospital

West Indian batsman had been sidelined due to a stomach bug but should be available for Thursday's Bangalore clash

Kings XI Punjab's veteran West Indian batsman Chris Gayle has returned to training after spending last week recovering from a stomach bug.

The 41-year-old started training on Monday and is likely to be available for Kings XI Punjab’s next game against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday.

According to the franchise, Gayle suffered a stomach infection that kept him out of action. He was also admitted to hospital, but has now made a full recovery.

Gayle was initially set to play against Sunrisers Hyderabad, but couldn’t do so due to the ailment.

“Chris looks very much ready and is keen to get on to the park, he has been training really well and has looked really good in the nets,” batting coach Wasim Jaffer told Kings XI Punjab's official website.

Including Gayle in Kings XI's top order will be difficult as openers Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul are in superb form, having both scored centuries.

Most and least valuable players so far this IPL season

MOST VALUABLE BATSMEN: KL Rahul (KXIP): Innings: 7, Runs: 387, Avg: 64.50, SR: 134.84. The Kings XI Punjab batsman is in red-hot form, with one century, three fifties and no single-digit score. Sportzpics for BCCI

Faf du Plessis (CSK): Innings: 7, Runs: 307, Avg: 61.40, SR: 147.59. Just one failure with the bat so far and batting with complete freedom. But even when he has fired on all cylinders, Chennai have somehow ended up losing, showing how badly some of his colleagues have played. Sportzpics for BCCI

Mayank Agarwal (KXIP): Innings: 7, Runs: 337, Avg: 48.14, SR: 158.96. The Punjab batsman has proven that with a good technique, even supposed Test specialists can conquer the 20-over format. Sportzpics for BCCI

LEAST VALUABLE BATSMEN: Kedar Jadhav (CSK): Innings: 4, Runs: 58, Avg: 19.33, SR: 98.30. It's a pain to watch Jadhav bat at the moment. Since he is a lower order batsman, he has to bat at a high rate from the start, which he has failed to do. His unbeaten seven from 12 balls during the 10-run defeat to Kolkata encapsulates his season so far. Sportzpics for BCCI

Glenn Maxwell (KXIP): Innings: 7, Runs: 58, Avg: 14.50, SR: 95.08. He came within millimetres of hitting a game-changing six against Kolkata. But even so, a strike rate of below 100 for a blockbuster batsman like Maxwell is a poor return. At least he is excellent in the field and offers good off-spin bowling. Sportzpics for BCCI

For a finger spinner to have an economy of under five an over, and that while also bowling in the power play overs, deserves full marks and a bonus point. The most valuable bowler in IPL 2020.

Expert input

If you had all the money in the world, what’s the one sneaker you would buy or create?

“There are a few shoes that have ‘grail’ status for me. But the one I have always wanted is the Nike x Patta x Parra Air Max 1 - Cherrywood. To get a pair in my size brand new is would cost me between Dh8,000 and Dh 10,000.” Jack Brett

“If I had all the money, I would approach Nike and ask them to do my own Air Force 1, that’s one of my dreams.” Yaseen Benchouche

“There’s nothing out there yet that I’d pay an insane amount for, but I’d love to create my own shoe with Tinker Hatfield and Jordan.” Joshua Cox

“I think I’d buy a defunct footwear brand; I’d like the challenge of reinterpreting a brand’s history and changing options.” Kris Balerite

 “I’d stir up a creative collaboration with designers Martin Margiela of the mixed patchwork sneakers, and Yohji Yamamoto.” Hussain Moloobhoy

“If I had all the money in the world, I’d live somewhere where I’d never have to wear shoes again.” Raj Malhotra
