Gayle went on to play a knock of 72 runs in the final ODI of the three-match series against India and every Indian player congratulated Gayle on the field, which led to speculations that the left-handed batsman might just have played his last match for the team from the Caribbean.

The 39-year-old Gayle is West Indies’ all-time run-scorer in ODIs with 10480 runs from 301 matches. Gayle had made his international ODI debut in 1999 against India in Toronto. He has registered 25 hundreds and 54 fifties in ODI cricket.
