Virat Kohli and Kevin Pietersen’s Twitter banter
Virat Kohli and Kevin Pietersen’s Twitter banter: The Indian captain shared a funny moment with the former England cricketer.
India captain Virat Kohli and former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen shared a funny moment on social media platform Twitter. The heartening Twitter banter ended on the same note after Pietersen expressed his love for the Indian cricketer.
It all started after Kohli uploaded a photo on his official Twitter account. The 30-year old cricketer was seen relaxing in shorts and a henley t-shirt with his shades on. “Basking in the sun,” read the caption of Kohli’s post.

Partially in the sun and partially in the shade, Pietersen noticed the contrasting caption and photo in Kohli’s post. Quick to point out the same, Pietersen commented on Kohli’s post. “Looks a bit like you’re more in the shade, bro!,” read his tweet.
Looks a bit like you’re more in the shade, bro! 😂

Replying back, the Indian captain also saw the funny side of the post. Talking specifically about the caption, Kohli said that the first one which he used was ‘much worse’. Kohli also didn’t shy away from disclosing his earlier caption.
Well in that case you should’ve seen my first caption. Much worse. 😂
PS – the face is still in the sun 🤪— Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) January 24, 2019
Pietersen ended up putting a halt to the conversation saying that he will let Kohli off because he loves him.
I’ll let you off cos I love you! 😂

Perhaps, Kohli’s photo was clicked during the Indian team’s journey from Napier to Mount Maunganui, where New Zealand and India will play the second and third ODI on Saturday and Monday respectively.

Kohli to skip last two ODIs and T20 series makes sense. Key players need to be physically and mentally fresh come June so workload has to be managed carefully
