How Chris Gayle defended himself

After hitting the Hobart Hurricanes for 41 off 15 balls, Chris Gayle decided to hit on TV interviewer, Mel McLaughlin.

Not one for subtleties, Gayle got stuck right away: "I wanted to come and have an interview with you as well. That's the reason why I'm here, just to see your eyes for the first time. It's nice so hopefully we can win this game and have a drink after. Don't blush, baby."

The broadcaster, Channel Ten confirmed that Chris Gayle will not be part of their coverage for the rest of the tournament.
