Cricketer Chris Gayle is known for his free line on field and witty lines off the field! True to his characteristics Gayle proved his flirting skills once again while taking a ball of question from a young and beautiful female TV reporter. Well he even asked the TV reporter out for a drink during a live interview in the Australian Big Bash League.
The big-hitting West Indian was clearly in the mood when Melbourne Renegades took on the Hobart Hurricanes in Hobart. Gayle smashed the Hobart bowlers to all parts, scoring 41 off just 15 balls that included three sixes and four boundaries.
Melbourne Renegades went on to win the game by five wickets and 36 balls to spare.
Gayle’s swashbuckling innings seemed to buoy his spirits further. Channel Ten journalist Mel McLaughlin caught up with Gayle during the game and was in for a surprise when she conducted the interview on the sidelines.(Gayle Says Sorry)
McLaughlin asked the West Indian about his quickfire innings but the answer she got left the journalist a bit embarrassed. The 36-year-old batsman then awkwardly laughed off the comment and told McLaughlin “don’t blush baby”.
McLaughlin replied by telling Gayle “I’m not blushing” before moving the interview back onto cricketing matters.
Gayle offered to take her out for a drink but sadly for the West Indian didn’t receive a positive response.
Well played @Mel_Mclaughlin !! Big fan of @henrygayle but made himself look a bit of a chop there @tensporttv #bbl05

Did Chris Gayle think he was in a bar? What a pathetic individual. #sexism #BBL — Andrew Prentice (@apaway501) January 4, 2016
Not good from Chris Gayle, using his social entitlement as a male to put someone in a very uncomfortable position when they’re doing a job.
