Chris Gayle announces arrival of baby girl
It has been an unusual IPL season for Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Chris Gayle. In his first five matches of the season, he could not get into double digit scores. He spent some time out of the playing XI, being replaced by Travis Head. His return to form, with 49 and 73 in the two most recent matches, has coincided with RCB’s resurgence to the top of the table.
On Wednesday, Gayle reached his first half-century of the season, and dedicated his celebration to his recently born first daughter, significantly called ‘Blush’. Like Bebeto had immortalised the ‘cradle’ celebration while on duty for Brazil, Gayle was seen cradling his bat in his huge arms – a tender moment in the middle of a spell of ferocious shots being hit in every direction.
