After failing to score runs in the first two T20 matches against Australia, many questions were being raised over Chris Gayle's place in the West Indies team. But in the third T20I, the star batsman played a stormy innings of 67 runs in just 38 balls to hit back at his critics and help West Indies achieve a target of 142 runs in 14.5 overs. Chris Gayle hit seven sixes and four fours during his innings.

The 41-year-old crossed the 50-run mark for the first time in T20 Internationals after scoring an unbeaten 100 against England in March 2016. Gayle made his intentions clear at the very start of his innings by hitting six sixes and three consecutive fours off fast bowler Josh Hazlewood in just the second over.

Meanwhile, a sticker on Chris Gayle's bat became a topic of discussion after the match. Gayle usually used to put a sticker of "Universe Boss" on his bat but now he had a sticker with "The Boss" put on his bat.

When asked why he had changed the sticker, Gayle said that the ICC does not want him to put a sticker of 'Universe Boss' on his bat. In the video posted by cricket.com.au, Gayle said, 'The ICC does not want me to use Universe Boss.  So I shortened it and just wrote The Boss'.

When asked whether 'Universe Boss' is copyrighted by the ICC, Gayle jokingly said, "Well, I have to copyright it. Not ICC, I am technically the Boss."
