Chris Gayle smashes 98 against India
Chris Gayle smashed a near match-winning hundred when he smacked the Indian attack for a 98 in the match between India and West Indies. Gayle was run-out for 98 in the last over while going for a second run to retain the strike.
Gayle’s 98 came off 66 balls and consisted of five fours and seven sixes. Some of his hits were so towering that they went out of the ground.
Gayle opened the innings with Shivnarine Chanderpaul, and added 80 for the first wicket off about 12 overs. Later, he opened up along with Darren Sammy and Kieron Pollard at the other end. West Indies scored a 169/6 in the 20 overs.
Gayle has already scored a century in T20I cricket when he smashed the South African bowling to smithereens in the ICC World T20 game in South Africa in 2007.
