The players, too, got one of the best all-round team as well. They have loads of experience in 50 overs and T20s,&quot; Gayle told reporters here after inking a deal with IONA Entertainment to bring one-stop entertainment to Indian sports fans which will include state-of-the-art virtual gaming.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;To lose against the West Indies in T20, that&#39;s our best format, they won the One-day International (ODI) series. T20 cricket is unpredictable. With a one-off game, anything could&#39;ve happened. They still got 190,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after: always\"><span style=\"display: none;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>India, however, clinched the preceding five-match ODI series 3-1, after one match was washed out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gayle, who is already the brand ambassador for IONA, is all set to invest in the company which he feels can revolutionise the entire entertainment industry in the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It is going to change the way people experience gaming in India. I am sure we will make this the very best in virtual reality,&quot; Gayle said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after: always\"><span style=\"display: none;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>IONA, founded and pioneered by Subramanian, Preetha and Lakshmana Kumar, is a world-class immersive and interactive entertainment centre that offers an unmatched range of games under one single room.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We are glad and thankful to Gayle, our brand ambassador, and Vestasia for believing in our vision and deciding to play a huge role in our growth process,&quot; Subramanian said.<\/p>\r\n",
