Top 10 T20 knocks played in matches between India and West Indies

#6 Chris Gayle (98 runs off 66 balls), Barbados, 2010

Chris Gayle laboured his way for the 98 run knock.

MS Dhoni won the toss and sent Windies to bat first on a lively wicket which had assistance to the bowlers. Gayle and Chanderpaul got them off to a cautious start and didn't allow the Indian seamers to exploit the conditions.

The ever explosive Chris Gayle played a very uncharacteristic inning where his strike rate never got over 150. However, the important aspect was that he batted till the last over and if not for the run-out off the penultimate delivery, Gayle would have reached the toughest T-20 century of his career. He only thrived in the last 5-6 overs of the innings and got Windies over 165 with the help of 5 fours and 7 maximums.

Ultimately, it proved out to be more than enough as Indians fell short by 14 runs.

#5 Evin Lewis (100 runs off 49 balls), Lauderhill, 2016

Evin Lewis hit 5 consecutive sixes in the knock.

India had won the toss in their first-ever international T-20 game in the United States and decided to field first on a wicket that looked nothing less than a batting paradise. Lewis and Charles got their team off to a dream start as the duo raced past 100 in the 8th over.

Lewis brought up his maiden T-20 century and the 200 for the West Indies in the 15th over with the help of 5 fours and 9 massive sixes. He hit Stuart Binny for 5 consecutive sixes in the 11th over of the innings and displayed the crowd the ultimate fun of T-20 cricket.
