The banter between English cricketer Kevin Pietersen and Australian all-rounder James Faulkner is not new in social media. Most of the times, Pietersen has trolled Faulkner and have loved to compare him with a goat but in the last few months, the Australian cricketer has been taking charge of poking fun at his English friend and has hardly missed out on that.
Just four days to go for the start of Big Bash League (BBL) 2015-16 season and both Pietersen and Faulkner plays for Melbourne Stars. On this occasion, Faulkner tries to fire up the BBL momentum and tweeted an old picture of Pietersen and asked whether he is prepared for the battle or not in his unique way.

In return to this, Pietersen replied and tweeted, “why do you miss me so much?!?!”
@JamesFaulkner44 @BBL why do you miss me so much?!?!

After that, Faulkner didn’t have any reply and further Pietersen decided to take a dig at his BBL teammate by retweeting a tweet of Melbourne Stars, where the 29-year-old Australian is taking a selfie with a fan.

It seems that Faulkner doesn’t have any answer to Pietersen and in this process, Ashley Giles also joined and trolled the 35-year-old English cricketer with his tweet.
@JamesFaulkner44 and you say I could scare little kids! Was the original @KP24 kidnapped? https://t.co/xFS2SZaDOG

Pietersen replied Giles sarcastically and answered him with his witty tweet.
@Gilo @JamesFaulkner44 @BBL yep! Taken to a barber & a dentist!
