As reported by Fairfax, the woman had gone inside the dressing room in search of a sandwich.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The accusation came after Gayle asked female sports journalist Mel McLaughlin out in a live pitch side interview during Monday&#39;s Big Bash League game between Melbourne Renegades and Hobart Hurricanes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The incident drew flak from social media and Gayle was fined 10,000 Australian dollars (Rs.4,68,111) for making the dating proposal live.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
