Chris Gayle the Universe Boss walked out the team alongside Dwayne Bravo when the West Indies went out for the national anthems in their last Super 12 game and also the last game in this year’s T20 World Cup. When he walked into bat, he was wearing the colourful shades (sunglasses), a reminder of the good old days when Gayle would walk in to bat and tear apart the opposition.
The left-hander was aggressive right from the word go and hit a brilliant six to Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins as well before being bowled by a quicker one from Cummins in the same over. Even as he walked out of the stadium, he raised his bat and acknowledged the support of the standing ovation from the crowd and his one teammates.
After some time the Jamaican was seen distributing cricket gear, especially batting gloves signed by him in the audiences. All these are signs that people might have seen the last of the Universe Boos in West Indian colours.
Although the 40-year-old has not announced his retirement from the international format officially. Bravo on the other hand did announce his retirement in the last game and this game would be his last in the maroon.
