Cricket fans all around the globe know Chris Gayle for his attacking game, powerful shots, and big sixes. But Chris Gayle also carries a caring heart too, which is highlighted in his visit to a RCB fan during one of the IPL seasons.
In one of RCB’s games, Chris Gayle hit a massive six, which landed directly onto the stands, breaking a young girl’s nose who was present there. But when Gayle visited the RCB fan to ask about her well-being, her spirit floored him.
“The ball ricocheted off the wall and hit a young girl in the nose. Immediately, I went straight to the hospital and saw her with bloody nose and bloody clothes,” Gayle, who represented RCB in seven IPL seasons, told Robin Uthappa on the ‘Home of Heroes’ show on JioCinema.

“She was like, ‘why are you sad? Don’t worry, hit more sixes!’ That was so amazing man! She helped me feel better by telling me that even when she’s in pain, she wanted me to hit more sixes,” Gayle said on the show.
“It was a touching moment. The next game, every fan had a placard saying, ‘please break my nose’, so I could go visit them in the hospital.”
Chris Gayle has also represented Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.
