5 Players to watch out for in the India v West Indies semi-final

Hosts India will take on the West Indies at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai in what should be a cracking second semi-final of the World T20. It will be a clash between the IPL superstars. West Indian cricketers are the soul of the IPL and adored in India. The fans will want them to do well and yet hope India emerges victorious in this high-profile clash. Here’s a look at 5 superstars who could make a huge impact on the 2nd semi-final.

1. Chris Gayle:

The burly Jamaican is considered a messiah of T20 cricket. Having played in leagues around the world, he has contributed a great deal in making the format such a huge hit. He played a memorable knock for the Windies in the team’s opening encounter against England. In a tricky run-chase, he hammered a belligerent hundred that deflated the English hopes. He will return to the same venue and should again enjoy the conditions on offer. His duel with Ravichandran Ashwin will be the one to watch out for. He announced that he is up for the challenge and will be prepared mentally to face any bowler. The Indian will have to take his wicket early if they are to win this match.
