Inappropriate? Chris Gayle Gets Bashed For Asking Out Reporter During Interview (Video)
Most fans of the popular cricketer Chris Gayle will probably know that he is quite fond of the ladies.
Gayle who is considered to be one of the greatest big hitting legends in limited overs cricket, also seemingly smashes big hits with members of the opposite sex.
Now the talented batsman has landed himself in an uncomfortable situation.
During an interview with Channel 10 reporter Mel McLaughlin, after having scored an impressive 41 runs from only 15 balls, Gayle attempted to ask the reporter out on a date.
“I wanted to come and have an interview with you as well, that’s the reason why I’m here… to see your eyes for the first time,” said the cricketer
Gayle also added, “Hopefully we win this game and we can have a drink after, don’t blush baby”.
According to Loop News, this is not the first time the cricketer has come under fire for getting too friendly with a female journalist.
In July 2014, Gayle responded to a female journalist’s question about the cricket pitch, “Well I haven’t touched yours yet so I don’t know how it feels”, he later added, “I like your smile; that’s nice.”
The Caribbean Premier League attempted to justify Gayle’s comments by saying that the cricketer was just sharing a “light moment” with the journalist.
