“Don’t Blush Baby,” Chris Gayle Faces Backlash For TV Interview

Chris Gayle isn’t one to ever colour within the lines. His maverick behaviour has gotten him in a lot of trouble in the past - be it with his home cricket board or with his team-mates.

This time round though Gayle might just have taken things a bit too far.

During a Big Bash League game in Australia, Gayle is seen to be hitting on a TV presenter on live television, while also asking her out on a date after the match.

The cricket fraternity and fans though did not see much humour in the entire matter.

Well played @Mel_Mclaughlin !! Big fan of @henrygayle but made himself look a bit of a chop there @tensporttv #bbl05

His self-appointed saviour Piers Morgan though had a good explanation for everything. Well, sort of.

Re @henrygayle 'scandal', I repeat: why is it any worse than Maria Sharapova's behaviour towards male reporter? https://t.co/Q0EQnxH5sN
