West Indies batsman Chris Gayle Wednesday visited a female
spectator who suffered a broken nose after being hit by one of his sixes
as she watched from the stands at an Indian Premier League match.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore opener smashed eight sixes, including
five in a row off leg-spinner Rahul Sharma, during an explosive innings
that helped his team beat the Pune Warriors on Tuesday evening.
Gayle said on Twitter that after learning one of his strikes had hit
the fan, named only as Tia, and broken her nose he decided to go and
visit her.
“Her 1st word to me is to Chill, She’s fine!” he wrote.
The left-handed opener, who was named man of the match, cracked a
48-ball 81 in a magnificent display of power-hitting to help Bangalore
surpass Pune’s challenging total of 182 with six wickets to spare in a
last-ball finish.
