"WI all the way!! True champions, be it u19s, women's or men's championship! Super stuff by team WI! Brathwaite was breathtaking! #WT20Final," the Indian icon said in another tweet after the West Indies clinched the World T20 title for a second time by beating England by four wickets in the summit showdown in Kolkata on Sunday night.
West Indies captain Darren Sammy had made a scathing attack on the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), stating that lack of support from the WICB has been disappointing after the team's second World T20 title triumph.
Hours after Sammy's outbursts, WICB issued a statement headlined 'WICB President has high praises for World Twenty20 Organisers' in which it termed Sammy's comments "inappropriate".
