Kolkata: Kolkata Knight Riders’ big hitting opener Chris Gayle will join the side in Ahmedabad on Thursday ahead of their away IPL match against Rajasthan Royals on Saturday.
"Gayle has already arrived in Mumbai and he would join the squad in Ahmedabad tomorrow," a KKR source said.
The Knight Riders had a rest day on Wednesday after their Tuesday night's loss to Chennai Super Kings.
The Knights are still expecting the services of their other opener Brendon McCullum who is busy with New Zealand's Test commitments against Australia.
The team will leave for Ahmedabad on Thursday to face the Royals in their fourth match.
