Chris Gayle has been the centre for attraction in the recent times for his controversial interview with Channel Ten journalist Mel McLaughlin during a Big Bash League match between Melbourne Renegades and Hobart Hurricanes recently.
It is a possibility that the maverick left-handed cricketer may never ever return to the League is getting a lot of support from fans with bearing a #StandByGayle sign and was also forced to hand it over to security at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) as news.com.au reported.
It is revealed that Cricket Australia may block any team which signs the big Jamaican next season following his interview with Mel. Social Media is an ideal platform for the fans and followers to express their thoughts and ideas. Many took it to their respective social media platforms to express their support whereas some thought that the sign was believed offensive.
Gayle after a match-winning innings against Hurricanes was dismissed for 41 off just 15 deliveries. As he made his way back to the dug-out he was interviewed by Mel where in the middle of a conversation he asked the interviewer for drinks post-match.
English cricketer Andrew Flintoff also commented on this incident earlier and tweeted.

Hopefully, things get sorted at the earliest for Gayle and his fans can see him in action once again.
