West Indies Players to Watch Out for:

Chris Gayle: One of the most destructive batsman in the modern day cricket. Can change the course of the game on its own.

Dwayne Bravo & Andre Russell: Both are allrounders and can contibute with the bat and ball.

Darren Sammy: Apart from being an allrounder he is the captain of the team. West Indies won the 2012 World T20 under the leadership of Darren Sammy. Sammy will once again lead the team in 2016. The big question is that, can he lift the trophy again???
