As they say, records speak for themselves. The man from Jamaica is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of T20 cricket. With 18 centuries to his name in the shortest format of the game, Gayle would like to dominate the Indian bowlers right from the word go and it will be fascinating to see what tactics Mahendra Singh Dhoni applies to stop Chris Gayle from scoring big.
Dhoni’s biggest weapon to stop the gigantic man from Jamaica will undoubtedly be Ravichandran Ashwin. The sort of wicket-taking form the Tamil Nadu spinner has been in, it won’t be a surprise if Dhoni opts to go with Ashwin in the very first over of the innings. Gayle will look to come prepared against Ashwin and it will be a fascinating battle between the two stalwarts of the game.

A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
