Chris Gayle ready to take on Salman Khan

This West Indian batsman is popularly known for his blistering knock with his bat; he has been nicknamed 'Gaylestorm'.

But Chris Gayle doesn't want to limit his menace to the cricket pitch alone he is ready to take on Bollywood and has challenged none other than the intimidating star of Indian film industry Salman Khan.

The batsman who is currently playing IPL for the Royal Challengers Bangalore is in a roll with his bat. Recently he had joked with actor and IPL team owner Shah Rukh Khan about his Bollywood aspirations.
However, that's no more a joke since the cricketer wants to turn actor for real. Gayle says he will take Bollywood away from Salman.

The flamboyant cricketer likes adventure and loves the camera too.

There's Aussie Brett Lee, who is infinitely better looking than Gayle, and equally charming, waiting on the fringes for Bollywood to take him seriously ever since. Lee has recorded a song with Asha Bhosle and his band has performed at a Bollywood event in Mumbai.

It should be put to light that Indian cricketers like Ajay Jadeja recently, and Sunil Gavaskar and Sandeep Patil before him, have acted in Bollywood films. Plus, there was always a door open for Imran Khan in the heady days of his playboy bachelorhood when he romanced Zeenat Aman. Let’s see where Gayle lands up, eventually.
