It all started on Saturday when Kevin Pietersen posted a shirtless picture of himself from the Maldives. After returning from the gym, the 40-year-old could be seen giving a thumbs up to the camera as he enjoyed his time out in the sun. Many fans were left in awe of the Englishman and applauded the retired cricketer's sculpted physique.

However, the Universe Boss Chris Gayle was having none of it, as he had an amusing reaction to Kevin Pietersen’s picture. Replying to the tweet, Chris Gayle cheekily claimed that Pietersen was sucking in his stomach to enhance his physique.

Gayle also declared that Kevin Pietersen’s abs look much worse in person. Kevin Pietersen captioned his picture “The Red List” in an apparent reference to England deeming the Maldives a red list country. This means anyone returning to the country from the region will need to quarantine in a hotel on returning to English soil.
