ICC Champions Trophy 2017: 5 champions who were missed

#2 Chris Gayle

Chris Gayle: A true champion

Cricket lovers were struck by the misfortune of missing the Caribbean squad in this edition of CT. Not to mention, West Indies have done reasonably well in the CT across years: Runners-up in 1998, 2006 and winner of 2004.

While we miss the entertainment and style in which the team usually conducts themselves, a special mention is needed for the flamboyant Jamaican, Chris Gayle.

Chris Gayle was not only missed as the tournament's leading highest run-getter but also for the swag and power-hitting he brings to the table. Played in immensely batting friendly conditions, this CT would have been a great platform for the likes of Gayle to charm his fans with his giant hits and free-flowing batting.

With no end to the deadlock between players and the West Indies cricket board, the cricketing world is losing Gayle bit by bit with every international match.
