GROS ISLET: West Indies batsman Chris Gayle, who became the first batsman to reach the 14,000-run landmark in T20s as the hosts defeated Australia in the third T20I, said there was still "plenty left in the tank" and "there were a lot more runs still to come".

The West Indian became the first batsman to score 14,000 T20 runs as he registered his 14th T20I half-century for the country. "It's a great achievement to achieve 14,000 T20 runs… its fantastic. I may give myself some target, say till up to 15 (thousand runs) now. It's very pleasing to become the first person to get 14,000 T20 runs, especially on a winning note as well, and scoring a half century as well, and win the series too. It's fantastic.

"A lot more runs to come and showcase what I am still capable of... still plenty left in the tank," said Gayle, who scored only 4 and 13 respectively in the first two T20Is. IANS
