Kevin Pietersen chided Yuvraj Singh before the commencement of RSWS

In fact, just before the commencement of the 2021 Road Safety World Series, Kevin Pietersen had chided the Indian cricketer. When Yuvraj had posed in front of some plants and posted the same on Instagram, Pietersen took a dig at the left-hander and had cheekily stated that he would have some ball fetching to do.

Both Yuvraj and Pietersen have set the stage alight in the ongoing Road Safety World Series. In the match against Bangladesh Legends, Pietersen scored 42 off just 17 deliveries. The England batting maestro followed that up by scoring a blistering 37 ball 75 in the encounter against the India Legends outfit.

As for Yuvraj, the Indian legend scored a sedate 22 against the England Legends and then went berserk in the encounter against the South Africa Legends side, scoring 52 off just 22 deliveries. Also, while Pietersen is the 4^th highest run-scorer for England in T20Is and scored 1176 runs at a strike rate of over 140, Yuvraj has smashed 1177 runs in his T20I career and scored his runs at a decent average of 28.02.
