Chris Gayle Becomes Father, To Miss Royal Challengers Bangalore's Game Against Mumbai Indians

Chris Gayle will miss Royal Challengers Bangalore's next match against the Mumbai Indians as he has gone back home for the birth of his son.

RCB's young batsman Sarfaraz Khan confirmed the news ahead of their match against Mumbai.
"Gayle has become a father, so he has gone home to visit his family and son," Sarfaraz said at the pre-match press conference in Mumbai.

"I'm on my way, baby", wrote Gayle on his Instagram account as he took the flight to the West Indies to be at the side of his partner, Natasha Berridge.

I'm on my way, Baby. 

Gayle might also miss Royal Challengers Bangalore's match against Rising Pune Supergiants on April 22.

The dashing Jamaican also thanked the services of Qatar Airways as he headed home for this special occasion.
