Chris Gayle Takes A Dig At Australian Legend Ian Chappell

Written by Vipin Darwade

Apart from hitting mammoth sixes and sending bowlers on a leather hunt, West Indies superstar Chris Gayle also has a talent of ensuring that the limelight is always on him. After his controversial TV interview with Channel 10 journalist Mel McLaughlin during a Big Bash League match in 2016, former Australian captain Ian Chappell had called for a worldwide ban on Chris Gayle. Now, when asked by Mumbai Mirror that Ian Chappell had asked for a ban on him, he had responded dismissively, “Who’s Ian Chappell?”

Chappell had asked Cricket Australia (CA) to propose a worldwide contracting ban on the big-hitting West Indian following his widely-criticised interview with McLaughlin.

“I wouldn’t have a problem if Cricket Australia said to the clubs, ‘he’s never to be contracted again in this country’,” Chappell was quoted as saying by the Australian Associated Press.
