Swashbuckling left-hand batter Chris Gayle walked off the pitch after his dismissal against Australia in Saturday's Super 12 game in the T20 World Cup in Abu Dhabi to standing ovation from his teammates, sparking speculation that this may have been the last time he turned up in West Indies colours. Cricketer-turned-commentator Ian Bishop felt the same after Gayle was dismissed for 15 runs off nine balls by Pat Cummins. With West Indies already out of contention for a place in the semi-finals, the Super 12 game against Australia was their last official fixture in the ongoing T20 World Cup. With Dwayne Bravo announcing his retirement from international cricket earlier, Bishop paid a memorable tribute to Gayle as he made his way back to the dugout.
