Charles played a brilliant knock in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 semifinal against India

The tall West Indies opener played the knock of his life against India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 when he and Simmons combined together to knock the hosts out of the tournament. Charles scored 52 runs and laid the foundation of the West Indies chase. He is basically a wicket-keeper batsman who can also open the innings.

Most of the West Indian players over the years have enjoyed decent success in the league and someone like Charles has the ability to carry that legacy forward. He is someone who can build the innings and also capable of hitting the monstrous sixes when needed.

Teams that are struggling with their top-order batting can definitely think of someone like Charles who can bolster the batting strength. His unusual batting approach might just provide the impetus to a team which is trying to revive its campaign.
