Twitter reacts to Chris Gayle's retirement after masterclass against India in his last ever ODI
As he promised before, Chris Gayle finally signed off in style after a trademark innings against India. He struggled to get going in the first two ODIs, but alas, he bounced back in the third by scoring an astute 72 off 41 deliveries today in Trinidad, and Twitterati poured blessings on the same.
End of the "UNIVERSE BOSS"
Thanks for entertained us @henrygayle

There were raining sixes before the actual rain!
If this is indeed the last of Chris Gayle in West Indies colours, it's fitting. 72 off 41 is the memory to leave on, not earlier struggles.

T20 pioneer & all-time great, ODI giant. Good enough for two Test triples
p.s Can we retire the cringeworthy Universe Boss monicker also?
Can't help it!
@henrygayle plz boss don't retire u still have so much left in you. Can't imagine international cricket without you boss.

So, was it all pre-planned??
He waited to break your record and then retire.

I was confused whether it was an ODI or a T20 :D
West Indies opener Chris Gayle hit a swashbuckling 41-ball 72 against India in the ongoing 3rd ODI at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain.

Great player!! Incomparable!
I don’t know if @henrygayle has done enough to win this match, but his contribution to WI - despite a long running feud — and international cricket is enormous all told

West Indies will surely miss the "UNIVERSE BOSS"
Signs off in style. In his own inimitable style. Chris Gayle bossed in his last game too. #WIvIND
