The West Indies power hitter and one of the most electrifying batsmen in the world, Chris Gayle, is in India to record his IPL promos for the upcoming season. While recently in the news for his controversial comments on his former franchises RCB and Punjab Kings, he is now making headlines for his unexpected endorsement of the Mohalla Clinics in Punjab.
During his visit to Jalandhar, where he toured the famous Jalandhar sports market known for crafting cricket bats for international players, Gayle was joined by MLA Sheetal Angural and met with the press. The conversation shifted from sports to the Aam Aadmi Party’s Mohalla Clinics initiative in Punjab, and to everyone’s surprise, Chris Gayle chose to share his thoughts on the matter.
He spoke highly of CM Bhagwant Mann’s government and praised their fantastic move to open over 500 clinics. Gayle stated, “Mr Bhagwant Mann has done something fantastic, and we need more people with a good heart like him to spread these kinds of initiatives around the world.”
The Aam Aadmi Party shared the heartwarming exchange on their Twitter channel, with the caption “World Renowned Cricketer Chris Gayle Praises Mohalla Clinics.”
