The head-to-head record between India and West Indies in Twenty20 internationals is an even 2-2. The teams haven’t met since 2014, and ahead of the their semi-final match-up on Thursday at the Wankhede Stadium there are many match-ups that could a vital role in deciding which way the pendulum of fortune swings. Nehra, 37, has made a habit of striking during the Powerplay since he returned to the team in January. His left-arm pace has troubled all teams he’s bowled against this year, and Gayle has singled Nehra out as the bowler to be wary of, apart from R Ashwin. In his T20I career, one that spans 48 matches, Gayle has been dismissed by left-arm pace bowlers just five times. Gayle’s approach in the IPL is generally to take time to get going and then tee off, and considering he’s batted just once since that whirlwind 47-ball century against England on this time ground, he may want to see off Nehra.
