"Winning five games in a row is a great achievement from a team point of view. We still cannot settle for anything less, we still need to win two more games to give ourselves a chance to be in the playoffs," Gayle said in a video posted by KXIP's Twitter handle.

While he has looked in tremendous touch himself, Gayle credited the whole team for their collective effort against KKR.

"Overall, I think it was a great team effort. Bowlers did a fantastic job. Mandeep, his second game after his dad passed away, he came in and batted brilliantly," he added.

KXIP will next take on fellow play-off spot aspirants Rajasthan Royals first on Friday (October 30) and then they will face Chennai Super Kings in their last game of the league stage on Sunday (November 1).
