West Indies, the sentimental favourites in World Cups, have formidable team despite the fact that some of their original squad members had to drop out. The West Indies have some of the world’s most destructive T20 cricketers who can combine to clinch the upcoming World T20 in India. The team provides the kind of entertainment and flair that cricket fans around the globe love watching. The T20 powerhouse team laid their hands on the trophy for the first time in 2012. The ball-striking ability of the West Indians is incredible and they love expressing themselves on the big stage. If the bowlers can keep it tight for the Caribbean islander, it will be hard for opposition bowlers to defeat them.

It was recently announced that Chris Gayle’s memoirs “Six Machine: I Don’t Like Cricket… I Love It,” published will be released around the world this year on 2nd June. In a totally different game, the big Jamaican will tell the inspiring story of his life from being a shy, skinny kid from a tin-roofed shack in the back streets of Kingston, stealing empty bottles to buy food, to becoming one of the most destructive batsmen in the world. Gayle’s rise in world cricket is nothing short of phenomenal. He is the greatest batsman in the T20 format and a magnificent crowd-puller. Gayle’s 43 T20I innings have produced 1406 runs and 15 wickets. With over 8000 runs in T20s, there is no doubt as to who is the boss in the shortest format of the game.
