As the West Indies men and women’s cricket teams gear up to create history in the finals of the ICC World Twenty20 on Sunday, the ‘fastest man alive’ is also rallying round his teams.
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has wished both teams good luck ahead of their finals at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
A video posted on Twitter by Digicel Jamaica shows Bolt supporting the Caribbean teams who are on the verge of a historic ‘Dream Double’ - winning both the Men’s and Women’s World T20.

“Just wanna wish the West Indies women and men Twenty20 teams all the best.I know you guys will do great so all the best,” says Bolt.
