West Indies batsman and IPL star Chris Gayle is busy making the most of his free time following the suspension of the IPL 2021.

The IPL 2021 edition was indefinitely postponed earlier this month due to coronavirus cases that emerged in the cash-rich T20 league. It all happened when a few members and cricketers from IPL franchises such as Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad tested positive for Covid-19.

The players and staff were quarantined and most have recovered from the virus. Most IPL players have now reached their respective nations amid the lockdown in the state and city.

Meanwhile, Chris Gayle, who along with a few Australian cricketers, were taken to the Maldives following the suspension of IPL, decided to take the opportunity to make the most of his time in the Maldives. The Australian contingent returned back home Down Under but Gayle decided to extend his stay.

Gayle, who is also famously known as the 'Universe Boss', is one of the most active cricketers on social media.

Chris Gayle shared a couple of photos where he is seen jet-skiing in the Maldives. He wrote, "JetSki Pon Di Maldives 🇲🇻 ocean 🌊 A Just Di Vibes... 💯 #LivingDiLife #OhMama."Gayle, who has over 3.8 million followers on Instagram, received over 2 lakh likes for his post.

Earlier, he posted a video of him scuba diving in the waters of the Maldives which witnessed over 2 lakh views as well.

At the IPL 2021 season, Chris Gayle was part of the Punjab Kings team and scored 178 runs in the 8 games played at a strike rate of 133.83. His top score was 46.
