Gayle hasn't yet joined his new franchise for the eleventh season of the IPL which kicks-off on April 7. The aggressive batsman is expected to join his franchise soon as they are going to play their first game against Delhi Daredevils.

Gayle, who wasn't retained by his previous franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore, went unsold twice before being bought by the Punjab franchise.

Interestingly, no team came forward to buy the big Jamaican batsman, who once was the hot favourites of the franchises. Gayle is the only batsman to have scored more than 10000 T20 runs.

Earlier, Gayle - who's very fond of dancing - had claimed during one of his visits to India that he wants to start his own dancing show.

"I think I need to start my own dancing show as most people don't talk about my cricket but only about my dancing skills! When I get the chance I try and show a few moves. Maybe I can learn a few moves from them as well! Once I learn the moves I can implement it on the field as well and then it could be more fun," the explosive left-handed-batsman told during an even in Chennai, an year ago.
