Kohli takes back over tomorrow as Captain from Watson and he says Gayle will play.

Gayle is the second-highest scorer at this venue in the IPL, behind Kohli himself, with 1508 runs in 39 innings at an average of 45.69 and a strike rate of 163.

"When you want to create a combination, you throw in all sorts of names as far as the away guys are concerned," Kohli said. "Chris[Gayle] has always been a priority for us in the past so many seasons.

Last game was a scenario where AB [de Villiers] came in and Watto [Shane Watson] was captaining, and the other two guys [Billy Stanlake and Tymal Mills] were bowling well. So it was difficult to leave three of the others out and AB is in anyway. With that regard, that was why Chris was left out last game. What works for us in Bangalore, we will definitely go in with the strongest combination possible.

Chris is a top contender to be playing the home games for us."

The eyes/reflexes have gone & the feet were never there in the first place.

His catching reflexes are still good though.
