You have been working within 11 years right?

I see no issues in my opinion since you are moving to upper level of education. The 11 years working, explain that you were saving up finances to afford masters program.

If getting the loan, then you will explain you worked to gain more experience then decided to pursue masters for higher job title something like that.

Yes. This sounds good. Can you or anybody share a format/draft to refer for explaining gap in a right way.

I am not sure about the gap explanation. You can tell the vo on your SOP when you explain why you chose the program and what led you to pursue masters after 11 years work experience because VO will see you have stable career.
