Watch: Chris Gayle hugs Mitchell Marsh after taking the Aussie’s wicket in his final T20I

Gayle's gesture after his dismissal for 15 against Australia on November 6, 2021, indicated he had played his final international match for West Indies. Gayle hoisted his bat to the audience, signalling that the West Indies match against Australia may be the final time he would wear the Maroon shirt for the team.

We're not done with Gayle yet, however. Gayle embraced Mitchell Marsh after dismissing the Australian batter in the first over he bowled. Gayle and Marsh were both beaming from ear to ear.

It was Gayle's last dismissal for West Indies, and he celebrated with a celebratory dance. Watch the video here:
