He said: “They needed to qualify within 12 overs at a particular run-rate. They did it and went on to win the championship that year, basically from nothing to champions. Most teams, not only within the Indian T20 League but overall can always reflect on that situation and use it like an example to show that you’re never out of it. Never give up in life. When you get a chance, it might be slim, but still go for it, because you just never know.”  

Speaking about their bonding, Chris Gayle played seven seasons together with Virat Kohli for the Bangalore franchise. The pair of Gayle and Kohli was the first pair to register 10 century stands in T20s and it all came for the Bangalore franchise.
