West Indies T20 captain Darren Sammy has cautioned against placing all expectations for success on Chris Gayle's shoulders, saying there are many players capable of winning games in Bangladesh.
While it is true that Gayle's absence in recent months saw the side slump, and his return brought about a renewed vigour, Sammy said players like Dwayne Bravo, Marlon Samuels and even himself could do the job with the bat.
The skipper said of the talismanic batsman: "Chris to me is the most destructive T20 batsman in the world.
"It's a great asset for us having him in the side but like in Sri Lanka, when we won the title, it took a total team effort. The key players (contributed), different guys chipped in in different games.
"It's no difference this time, we got to play as a team, we got to gel well together and hopefully performance will come from the key players."
On a lighter note, the Windies were popular at the last World T20 thanks to their dancing celebrations, particularly Gayle's Gangnam Style dance. When asked if they would be dancing again, Sammy said it was likely.
He added: "Will come up with something new probably. Somebody will come up with something and the rest of us will follow. Chris probably has something up his sleeves, (Dwayne) Bravo, (Andre) Russell, maybe me, you never know.
"Something will come up and we'll use it and enjoy the ceremony."
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
