West Indian batsman Chris Gayle smashed the English bowlers all over the park to take his team home in T20 cricket world cup clash in Mumbai.

Chasing 182, Gayle unleashed his batting might on the English to become the only batsman to score two centuries in T20 world cup.
Gayle smashed 11 sixes in his innings of 100 in 48 balls. West Indies won the match by six wickets.

Earlier, England posted, what looked like a pretty decent total of 182 with important contributions from Alex Hales and Joe Roots. But the score looked safe only until Gayle power hit the opponents.

At one stage, Chris Gayle was 22 from 16 balls. His next 78 runs came off just 31 deliveries.

The 2012 World T20 champions certainly have begun their campaign with a huge bang.
