Key Moments: Chris Gayle on Fire

• Opening pair: Chris Gayle and Lendl Simmons walked out to open the innings for WI-C. India’s captain Yuvraj won the toss and chose to bowl first .
• Gayle’s assault: Known as the Universe Boss, Gayle launched into an onslaught of boundaries, forcing the Indian attack to suffer — including an ex-RCB star bowler in the mix .

What Lies Ahead

With this being their final group stage game, both teams faced different pressures:

• India, out of contention unless they somehow drastically improve their Net Run Rate.
• West Indies, needing the win to qualify — a collapse here would eliminate them and let England Champions sneak in as the fourth semi-finalist

Bottom Line

Chris Gayle’s vintage display of boundary-hitting brought the old magic alive — reminding fans why he remains a legend of the game. As he pummeled the Indian attack, especially Varun Aaron, India’s stagnant performance looked even more exposed. While the final result is still unfolding, one thing is clear: Gayle is back on a rampage, and India’s last hope in the tournament depends on rapid turnaround that now looks very unlikely.
