Greatest Moments from 2015 Cricket World Cup

Guptill and Gayle- The Double Centurions

Guptill and Gayle both hit their first ODI double century during the WC

West Indies' opener Chris Gayle made a mockery of Zimbabwean attack by hitting 16 sixes and 10 fours in a 147-ball innings, which resulted in the first ever double-hundred in a World Cup. His 215-run innings underlined the importance of hard-hitting in modern day cricket.

Gayle was joined by New Zealand's Martin Guptill in the double hundred club later. Guptill's 237 not out off 163 balls showed the virtue of patience and ball-watching. He paced the innings to perfection, raising the tempo with each passing over, with the majority of his 24 fours and 11 sixes coming towards the end of the innings.

Nowadays, cricket becoming a batsmen's game is definitely not a bane. There are few cries, but overall, it's all about bat hitting the ball.
