India captain MS Dhoni wants his players to get Chris Gayle out early during Tuesday's ICC Champions Trophy clash against the West Indies at The Oval.

India captain MS Dhoni has called on his players to get Chris Gayle out early in Tuesday's ICC Champions Trophy clash against the West Indies.

Both sides go into the game at The Oval having won their opening matches in Group B of the tournament.

Dhoni believes that taking the wicket of the Windies' big-hitting batsman will be important to his team's chances of victory.

"The Gayle factor, it will always be there," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying.

"He is one of those individuals that have a big impact on the game. It's always good to get them out early.

"It will be an interesting game because what's important is to realise if you don't get batsmen like Chris Gayle out, most likely he'll take you out of the game."

India defeated South Africa in their first match of the competition, while the West Indies saw off Pakistan.
