Chris Gayle in trouble after roughing up local reporter
The former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221, has irked the wrath of the Indian media by manhandling a local TV channel reporter who tried to film the legend while he was shopping yesterday.
Considering the reporter’s act as an intrusion to his privacy, Gayle got infuriated and pushed the reporter down. He also tried to snatch his camera and abused him too.
The burly West Indian cricketer often avoids media in his off-field life. After the reporter kept chasing him around a shopping mall at Brigade Road, Gayle lost his patience.
Adding fuel to fire, Gayle’s bodyguards allegedly assaulted the media crew and started beating them in full public view. When the matter turned to be more intense, some people came to rescue the media men.
Gayle did not even apologize to the victims and fled away from the scene.
The affected journalists have approached the City Police Commissioner, Jyothiprakash Mirji, who has forwarded the case to the Director General Central Division. However, Mirji said, “Action will be initiated on whatever the crew gives in writing”.
The analysts suggest that Gayle has stirred up a hornet’s nest by picking a row with the hyperactive Indian media. Gayle may not get court penalties but he http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Willey-c81951 get media attention.
Most of Gayle’s fans are surprised to know how such a cool-minded player committed such an aggressive act.
There is no denying the fact that Gayle is hardly seen laughing, screaming, and, jumping on-field. He always plays with complete tranquillity and rarely speaks.
Now, the RCB management is trying to have patch up with the media and settle the issue as Gayle is their most precious asset in this tournament.
Joining the IPL-4 race midway, Gayle helped score seven victories for his team in a row. He is the only player of the tournament to have three tons so far. Moreover, he is the top-scorer of the tournament with 436 runs. He also has the highest average of
72.66.
