Former West Indies batter Chris Gayle, who replaced injured Dirk Nannes at RCB after going unsold in the IPL 2011 auction, revealed he was at a nightclub in Jamaica when he received the call. "I got a call. It was Vijay Mallya and Anil Kumble," he recalled. Gayle added, "They asked me if I was fit...I said, 'Yes, I'm fit'."
