Star cricketer Chris Gayle, who has set a benchmark in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with his blistering innings, has showed his softer side on Wednesday.
During the Twenty 20 match against Pune Warriors at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Gayle has hit 8-sixes which is a record in IPL 2012. Sadly, one of those sixes has hit a 11-year-old girl Tia Bhatia, who was watching the match from the stands. Immediately after this incident, her nose started bleeding. She was admitted in a nearby private hospital, where the little kid is undergoing treatment for nasal bone fracture.
Gayle was touched by the words spoken by the kid during his short conversation with her. Tia told to the cricketer not to feel sad about her injury and also asked him to hit more sixes into the stand. "It was a touching moment. I pray for her speedy recovery," said Gayle.
The doctors stated that Tia has undergone successful surgery and she is absolutely fine now. Gayle's 81 runs of 48 balls powered Royal Challengers Bangalore to a thrilling win against Pune Warriors on Tuesday, while chasing a mamooth total of 183.
