West Indies star cricketer Chris Gayle has voiced his anticipation for the upcoming India vs Pakistan clash in the T20 World Cup, emphasizing its potential to captivate audiences worldwide. Gayle, speaking from Barbados, expressed his hopes that this tournament would mark a significant breakthrough for cricket in the United States.

The T20 World Cup, co-hosted by the USA and Gayle's home country, the West Indies, is slated to commence on June 1. Gayle underscored the tournament's role in expanding cricket's global footprint, especially in the American market, citing the success of previous T20 events held in the USA.



Here's what Chris Gayle said:

"The ICC (International Cricket Council) has been trying to get cricket on a global scale within the USA."

He further added:

"India v Pakistan is in New York, I'm sure it's going to be phenomenal. They (the USA) had a T20 tournament last year and it was a success. It's a big market, we just have to hope it will be a success within the United States."

Chris Gayle's sentiments reflect the growing interest and market for cricket in the United States, with anticipation building for the showdown between traditional rivals India and Pakistan. The match is scheduled to take place at a temporary venue in Long Island, New York, with expectations of a sell-out crowd.

Furthermore, Gayle expressed his personal aspirations for the West Indies team, aiming to secure a spot in the final scheduled to be held in Barbados on June 29.
