I was treated like Gayle in India after 2016 World Cup T20 win: Carlos Brathwaite

New Delhi: All-rounder Carlos Brathwaite, best remembered for hitting four consecutive sixes off England's Ben Stokes to help West Indies win the 2016 T20 World Cup, on Sunday said his best memory in India will always be the adulation he got days after achieving the feat, where he felt like Chris Gayle in the subcontinent.

"Cricket is relgion in India. I remember I was filming Chris (Gayle) being mobbed at the airport. But after the World Cup when I came to play for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), the same thing was happening to me," the 31-year old said while chatting on a Delhi-NCR based pet channel on Instragram where he mainly spoke about his dog.

Carlos Brathwaite also said while Bengaluru is his favourite city for partying in India, Kolkata will always be special and he and his wife like Mumbai too. India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal commented below the chat, saying the whole of Bengaluru is his. Chahal plays for Virat Kohli-led Royals Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
