In a video posted by Windies Cricket, Gayle clears the speculation and states that he hasn't called it quits yet.
"I didn't announce any retirement. Yeah, I am still with West Indies cricket until any further notice," he said.
In the 3rd ODI, he slammed 72-runs off 41 balls, but West Indies were still defeated by India by six wickets. Khaleel Ahmed dismissed Gayle, who received a standing ovation from the Trinidad crowd. Also every Indian player congratulated Gayle, which led to rumors that he had played his last match for Windies.
