Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen on Saturday took to Twitter and posted a throwback picture with ex-India captain MS Dhoni. In the photo, Pietersen can be seen suggesting something to Dhonಌi.
“Hey, MSD, why don’t you put a fielder over there for me? Scoring runs against you guys is so easy,” Pietersen captioned the picture while taking a cheeky dig at Dhoni.

However, the Indian Premier League (IPL) side Chennai Super Kings (CSK), on Sunday, dropped a hilarious response to KP’s tweet.
The Chennai-based franchise posted a classic photo, showing off Dhoni’s lightning-fast stumping abilities and trolled back the former England international.
“But sometimes you don’t need fielders!”, CSK captioned the photo.

CSK’s savage reply won millions of hearts, grabbed a lot of attention on the platform and ended up receiving more retweets than Pietersen’s initial tweet.
Pietersen 🌠and Dhoni, much like other cricketers, are currently spending time at home as the world battles against the coronavirus pand♑emic.
Due to the ongoing health crisis, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also suspended 13th season of the IPL ꧒for an indefinite time.
