Watch Gayle invite a reporter out for a drink, saying -- "don't blush baby"

WEST INDIAN HERO CHRIS GAYLE is well known for his funny antics on and off the cricket field and just after playing a swash-buckling innings (36) in today’s Big Bash T20 match against the Hobart Hurricanes, the Jamaican created an awkward situation for the Channel Ten reporter Mel McLaughlin. 

While doing a quick interview on the sidelines, McLaughlin was asked by Gayle if she wanted to come out for a drink with him, before quickly adding "don't blush baby".

Much to McLaughlin’s credit, she kept her composure and responded by saying, "I'm not blushing" as Gayle could only awkwardly laugh off the comment. 

Although, Gayle’s must have seen it as a friendly banter, fans on social media certainly felt it was a rather cheeky and cheap comment from the West Indian.
