‘England B’ trends big after Virat Kohli-led India hammer the visiting English team by 317 runs on Tuesday at Chennai to square the four-match series 1-1. Former English commentator Kevin Pietersen – who is a popular man in India – took to Twitter and reacted after Joe Root and Co faced humiliation at the hands of the hosts.
Pietersen – who is a regular in India – has picked up Hindi and he cheekily used the language while taking a cocky jibe at India.
KP’s tweet read: “Badhai ho India England B ko Harana ke Liye.”
Pietersen has been following the Test and has been tweeting regularly during the Chennai Test. From the first day of the Test, the former English cricketer made it clear that the pitch is not good and had stirred controversy. The pitch has been the talk of the town during the Test as plaudits believe it is unfair that the ball starts spinning from the first day.
Here is how fans reacted to Pietersen’s ‘England B’ tweet.
On what bases u r calling england b team. India was the team who played with b team in aus in gabba where there was no ashwin,no jadeja, no bumrah, no ishant, no shami, no umesh. We played with bowlers who didnot have experienced still won. (1)
