Gros-Islet, Saint Lucia: Nicholas Pooran on Tuesday insisted "sacrifice and hard work" have been key to him succeeding Chris Gayle as the West Indies leading T20 run-maker.
The 28-year-old Trinidadian passed the 2,000-run mark in the international game's shortest format when he clobbered Afghanistan for 98 in his team's 104-run victory in Monday's concluding group stage game of the World Cup.
For good measure, he also surpassed Gayle for most sixes by a West Indies batsman in T20 international cricket, taking his total to 128 to his former teammate's 124.
"I'm just really happy that I can continue what he left. He obviously set the platform for us," said Pooran of Gayle.
"He's the definition of batting in T20 cricket. And I'm just really happy that I can continue to entertain people and take over where he has left."
