For every team's captain, it is a relief to see the back of Chris Gayle, as the power of the 'Universe Boss' can destroy each and everything in its path.

It was the 2nd ODI of India's 2009 tour of West Indies, where India was playing at Kingston and had won the toss and elected to bat first.

A terrific performance by the West Indian pacer, Ravi Rampaul had restricted India to 188, and West Indies were set a target of 189 to be achieved in 50 overs.

Chris Gayle and Runako Morton came on as the openers and were cruising through at 101 for no loss when Rohit Sharma came on to bowl the 16th over of the match, his 2nd.

The first ball was flatter and quicker through the air, as Gayle barely managed to defend it. Gayle set out to target the part-timer Sharma, as he gave the second ball a massive strike, and as the ball soared towards the advertisement boards it was Gautam Gambhir who superbly caught it while running at long-off.

Rohit ended the match with figures of 8-0-27-2 (his second was Ramnaresh Sarwan) and was surprisingly the only Indian bowler to take any wickets in the 8-wicket loss to the West Indies.
