Time and again, the cricket fans have witnessed their favourite stars getting involved in some hilarious banters on Twitter and the social media has once again given them another gem of a conversation between two cricketers.
This time it was Kevin Pietersen and Yuvraj Singh’s turn to leave the fans in splits with their exchanges.
Yuvraj Singh and Kevin Pietersen’s duel on the cricketing field is a part of the game’s folklore. The former England international once famously labelled Yuvraj a “pie-chucker” during a Test series in India in 2008. But instead of hitting back at Pietersen, Yuvraj proved his worth as a bowler and dismissed him five times.
But those altercations and heated exchanges are a talk of the past now and the duo, it seems, have now moved on. During the ODI series against England earlier this year, Pietersen had congratulated the southpaw after his century in Cuttack.
I love @YUVSTRONG12! Well done my buddy! All the love coming from Melbourne! ????????

And the latest conversation is another proof that the players are now good friends. The conversation began when Yuvraj took to Twitter to compliment Pietersen for the yellow shocks he was donning during the Indian Premier League match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Lions on Sunday (April 9).
But the Indian batsman, who is known for his humorous nature, tried to pull Pietersen’s leg.
“Looking sharp in those yellow socks mate ? @KP24 @IPL hope your well yours truly the pie-chucker,?✌️” Yuvraj tweeted:

In reply, Pietersen, who is currently plying his trade as a commentator in the Indian Premier League, tweeted:” Love you! Not your bowling! ?”

Well, we will not blame you Kevin for saying that you do not like Yuvraj’s bowling. We have seen how you struggled against him ?.
