IPL 2018: 5 veterans who proved their critics wrong this season

The IPL 2018 has seen a number of scintillating match performances and individual landmarks and now that we are about to end the group stages, it is going to be a tough competition for teams and players to beat each other's performances.

This year, a number of old-timers have done well in the IPL. Here are five of them:

#5 Chris Gayle

He was unsold in the first round of the auctions and was most likely to be not playing the IPL 2018 when the Kings XI Punjab intervened and bought him for the base price of Rs. 2 crores.

The 38-year-old repaid the faith by rolling back the years in style. In 11 games he averages 40.88, scoring 368 runs including one century and three half-centuries. His side could not qualify for the playoffs.
