Gayle revisits 'don't blush baby' line

Chris Gayle has referenced his infamous interview with Mel McLaughlin during a Pakistan Super League game, telling Tom Moody not to blush.

Chris Gayle continues to poke fun at last month's incident with television presenter Mel McLaughlin, telling Tom Moody not to blush in an interview during a Pakistan Super League match.

Gayle was fined $10,000 by Big Bash League (BBL) franchise Melbourne Renegades and infuriated Cricket Australia officials at the start of the year.

The Jamaican slugger earned widespread condemnation for attempting to flirt with Ten Network's McLaughlin on live TV, famously telling her "don't blush baby".

"A lot of things have occurred from a simple comment, a joke, a simple joke. It seems it went out of proportion," Gayle said in a bumbling apology.

Gayle then teed off at critics in a bizarre and explicit rant on social media once the BBL season finished.

Currently in the United Arab Emirates taking part in Pakistan's T20 league, Gayle revisited the episode unprompted.

"Cheers Tom. Don't blush, Tom," Gayle said after an interview with pundit and former Australia player Moody.
