Chris Gayle sizzles in Kerala while enjoying the break from IPL

Chris Gayle has lightened up the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) while featuring for Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). He was benched for a couple of matches upfront but then was unleashed by the team against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as the Universe Boss started creating fears in the minds of the bowlers. He also owned the Orange Cap for a little while only after playing 3 matches. However, the champion player from Jamaica is currently enjoying in Kerala during the break from IPL games.

KXIP are currently at the third position with 10 points to their name after playing 7 matches. The team looks set to qualify for the playoffs as most of the things have worked for them. While KL Rahul and Chris Gayle have won them the games single-handedly, the bowling attack has also hunted together with their skipper R Ashwin leading from the front. He has been proactive as the captain so far and the decisions taken on the field have worked wonders for the team.
