Chris Gayle warns opponents
I am batsman, capable of scoring a century on any conditions, says Gayle.
DHAKA (Web Desk) - West Indies’ explosive opener Chris Gayle has warned his opponents, saying that he can score a century in any conditions, ahead of the World Twenty20.
“I am batsman, capable of scoring a century on any conditions and on any wicket in the world. I just want to give the team that kind of a start. It will be nice to get another hundred, said Gayle.
“However it also depends on the conditions as well and how the wicket is playing,” he said as the West Indies prepare for their opening warm-up game against England in the World Twenty20 on Tuesday.
When asked about the huge pressure that he is under, to perform every time, the Jamaican accepted that it was a challenge to live up to the expectations.
“It creates a lot of pressure as expectations are rising. When you actually set a trend, then people expect you to come good at all times. You have fans worldwide who want me to do well. That’s what they pay for and want to see. But it’s not going to happen all the time but when I do get a chance I try to entertain people as much as possible,” he said.
He also feels that being the defending champions also adds to the pressure, but adds that the team is ready for the challenge.
“We are here to retain the title and that’s not going to be easy, but we are ready for it and we are ready for the challenges. Our first priority is to make it to the last four, it’s a tough group. Everybody is looking to win the tournament,” Gayle said.
