Sportzwiki's Year Review - Top 5 Moments Of 2016 2
Swashbuckling West Indies opener Chris Gayle celebrates with Afghanistan at Nagpur.

Afghanistan has put up some resilient performances since being promoted to play at the top level and it was certainly the case at Nagpur when they played against the West Indies in a low-scoring thriller.

Afghanistan batted first and scored a paltry 123, but the pitch was deteriorating which meant that the minnows had spinners who did most damage to upstage the West Indies by six runs.

After the match, the fans witnesses the West Indies’ hard-hitting opener Chris Gayle join the Afghanistan team in their celebrations to notch up one of the great moments of 2016 and re-enforce the spirit of Cricket in its greatest shape and form.
