IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2024: Gayle puts India in the driver's seat

Legendary West Indian cricketer Chris Gayle has pinned the tag of favourites on India ahead of their marquee T20 World Cup match against Pakistan here on Sunday. India made a sound start to the ICC showpiece with a win over Ireland, while Pakistan were derailed by a charged co-hosts USA in the Super Over. "Their (Pakistan) backs are up against the wall and coming off a loss like that straight into playing a team like India, who traditionally have the upper hand in these games, is a huge challenge," Gayle told ICC. But Gayle said it would be naive to expect a cold contest between the cross-border rivals. "India are in the driver's seat, definitely a more relaxed seat. But this is India versus Pakistan at a World Cup, so you can take nothing for granted," he added. The dashing Jamaican said Pakistan, though, will have to regroup quickly to challenge India. "As for Pakistan, they have no time to waste. They have to re-group for the biggest game of the tournament against India in New

India, England, Australia playing bulk Test matches will kill game: Gayle

The big three -- India, England and Australia -- playing the bulk of Test cricket will eventually "kill the game" and the players of smaller boards like the West Indies must be paid better for international cricket to flourish, feels Chris Gayle. Gayle is best known for his exploits in T20 cricket but he is also a veteran of 103 Tests and 301 ODIs. Speaking to PTI, the 43-year-old said only three teams dominating the game can't be good for the game in the long run. "Over the years, cricket has changed quite a bit. It is a big business now. Lot of money being thrown around not just in T20 leagues but Test cricket as well. The bigger teams getting paid more than the smaller teams, leaving them at a disadvantage. "It needs to be structured, so that everyone can benefit. The disadvantaged and lower-ranked teams need to play more games to develop their skills.
