Gayle blitzkrieg helps RCB beat KKR, takes them to play-offs

Chris Gayle plundered 38 runs in a 12-ball blitzkrieg as Royal Challengers Bangalore scored an emphatic four-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders under Duckworth-Lewis method in a rain-truncated match to seal a play-offs berth in Indian Premier League here today.

Gayle continued with his batting pyrotechnics in IPL 4 as he hit six fours and two sixes to score all but two runs of his 38 from boundaries to send the packed home crowd at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium into a frenzy.
