CANBERRA : West Indies star player Chris Gayle smashed
215 runs off 147 balls including 10 fours and 16 sixes against Zimbabwe in a Pool B World Cup encounter today at Manuka Oval. Gayle became the fourth batsman – after Sachin Tendulkar, Virendra Sehwag and Rohit Sharma – to score a double century in One Day International (ODI).
This is the fastest double century in ODIs, beating Virender Sehwag’s knock off 140 balls.
The 35-year-old’s blistering double century helps West Indies to put up a total of 372 against Zimbabwe. (AGENCIES)
