Soon after Gayle posted the picture, a number of users took the opportunity to point out Mallya's history in their comments.
"Mallya is very patriotic, he only steals from Indians. Please courier him to India. Your will get a million dollar at least reward," said one user.
The businessman also responded to the trolling on his official Twitter handle.
"Great to catch up with the Universe Boss and my dear friend. For all those of you losers who call me CHOR, ask your own banks to take their full money that I am offering for the past one year. Then decide on who is CHOR," he wrote.
