After winning the last ODI series 3-1, the Indian cricket team would have surely wanted to end their tour of the West Indies on a high. But, India's shocking nine-wicket loss in the one-off T20I in the Caribbean meant that the Windies had something to cheer for.
The tour, on one hand, gave India a much-needed win in the 50-over series after a hammering in the Champions Trophy final, while it witnessed West Indies scripting a comeback to upset Virat Kohli's men in the T20 clash. But, India's outing in Caribbean undeniably gave us all a glimpse of the camaraderie between the players of the two teams.
Since a majority of the West Indies cricketers ply their trade in the Indian Premier League (IPL), it wasn't really surprising to see them hanging out with the Indian stars off the field.
Jamaican marauder Chris Gayle returned to his party-mode as he invited Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh to his Triple Century Sports Bar. Giving the fans a glimpse of their night-out, the Windies opener also shared photographs and a video with his fans on Instagram.
The self-claimed 'Universe Boss' hailed stylish Yuvi as the 'Real Champion' in his Instagram post.

Yuvraj, too, took to Instagram and shared his image with Gayle while thanking him for his warm reception. "At the legends triple century bar! Thanks @chrisgayle333 for the lovely evening, you are an entertainer on and off the field," he wrote.

Earlier, Ajinkya Rahane also uploaded a picture of himself alongside Gayle and Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar. "Thank you Chris for hosting us for dinner," he wrote on Instagram.

Apart from Gayle, Dwayne Bravo also played host to the Indian cricket team during their ODI series. The Windies all-rounder was seen catching up with his mates in the Indian team.

Calling Dhoni as his โbrother from another mother', Bravo posted on Instagram, โIt was great to have my brother from another Mother at my house last night along with his beautiful daughter and my mom #champion #djbravo #Family @mahi7781.โ (sic)
The Indian cricket team, who have recently found a new coach in Ravi Shastri, will now travel to Sri Lanka for three Tests, five ODIs and a T20I, slated to begin from 26 July.
