West Indian opener Chris Gayle will miss the next two matches for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as he is flying back to Jamaica for the birth of his first child.
The Caribbean left-hander flew back on Monday to be with his partner Natasha Berridge, who is expecting their first child.
He will miss RCB's matches against Mumbai Indians in Mumbai on April 20 and against Rising Pune Supergiants on April 22. He will most probably be rejoining the team for the April 25 match.
Chris Gayle hasn’t been in top form, however after failing to score big in the first two games for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
