After being named Man of the Match for scoring 104*(63) against SRH, KXIP's Chris Gayle said Virender Sehwag saved the IPL by picking him at the auction. The 38-year-old, who has hit two 50-plus scores in two matches this season, was bought for ₹2 crore after going unsold twice. Earlier, Sehwag had said Gayle was bought as a back-up option.
