Sagar Patil from Bloomington, Indiana says: My money is on Saha today.. After dropping that catch before the start of Gayle storm he must be cursing himself and he will come positive when he come to bat to cover it up!"

Naik: "Rashid's worst match so far in IPL. Let's see how Mujeeb do here. Doesn't look good for spinner as SRH spinners conceded 99 in 8 overs. "

9.47pm Thanks, Shashank. What a knock from Chris Gayle, eh? Rashid went for 55 runs tonight, the most he's conceded in a T20 match. Also what was impressive was how Gayle rotated the strike. Only 18 dot balls, the joint-lowest, for a innings where Gayle has scored an IPL hundred.

Chandana: "I feel score is below par after so much of show...SRH would be more than happy.."

9.40pm Proper party. Bold move from Ashwin to bat first and sure enough, Kings XI will be very happy with where they are. Chris Gayle brought up his 21st T20 century in a fantastic exhibition of six-hitting, particularly against the world's No. 1 T20 bowler Rashid Khan. Sunrisers Hyderabad have chased down three middling totals. They'll be properly tested tonight. Sreshth Shah will be back with you for the first half of the chase. Should be fun.

Chris Gayle: "A lot of people thought I'm too old, after this innings, I have nothing to prove. This hundred is dedicated to my daughter. Tomorrow is her birthday. This is a good wicket to bat on, just have to go out and defend it. I'm very dedicated. Since joining Kings XI, Sehwag told me to stick with the yoga guy and a massage guy, that's the secret, I guess (laughs). In a week's time, I'll be able to touch my toes!

Dishant: "Baffled by selection of Jordan over Stanlake. Big Billy was in form, bowls at 145+ and would have got steep bounce. If Short bowling was a plan against Gayle, he was the bowler to do it." -- We still don't know the reason. If Stanlake wasn't injured, he had to play

Sk Minhaj Firdo: "There is beauty about players who play all three forms of cricket. Karun Kair, a triple centurion in tests, is showing his class here." -- He's managed to hold his own amid the Gayle storm

Ishan Jain: "Gayle went unsold in 2011 before RCB bought him and we know how good he was for them for most parts. Fear is the greatest motivator, I guess it's the fear of losing the game he loves the most makes him a great player." Playing without pressure, seems like he's just enjoying his time. Said after the previous game that he was prepared to be unsold and spend time at home.
