West Indies vs Australia: Chris Gayle's presence alone sends a fear factor to the opposition, says Dwayne Bravo

Dwayne Bravo says Chris Gayle brings the fear factor with him when he plays T20 cricket for the West Indies amid the ongoing criticism surrounding the legendary batsman's dwindling form in 2021.

West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has backed teammate and legendary batsman Chris Gayle after a string of low scores this year has put questions marks over his place in the national team in the shortest format. Gayle is averaging just over 12 from 9 games since his return to the West Indies T20 side in 2021 after a gap of two years. He scored just 13 and 4 batting at No. 3 for the Windies in the first-two T20Is against Australia which the Windies won by 18 and 56 runs to take a 2-0 lead in the 5-match series.
