When you bat with Chris Gayle (the Universe Boss), all eyes are on him and it is not easy to steal the limelight away from him. However, Chadwick Walton completely overshadowed the big Jamaican opener. Walton struck a very good 24-ball 54 and struck the ball cleanly.

He got off the mark on the first delivery he faced and then got going with a couple of boundaries in the very first over. In the second over, he hammered Jeremiah Louis for a four and two sixes as he raced away to 26 off just 10 deliveries. He continued his clean striking as he bludgeoned his way to 50 in just 21 balls.

He was dismissed in the final over of the power play for an excellent 54 which included 6 fours and 4 sixes. During this time, Gayle had managed just 15 off 11 deliveries (which included a couple of sixes). Walton not only outscored Gayle but also stole away the spotlight from him.
