Kevin Pietersen is no stranger to viral moments, but his latest activity on X (formerly Twitter) has left fans questioning. The confusion began when Pietersen posted a legendary frame of Akshay Kumar from the film Phir Hera Pheri with the caption: "ZOR ZOR SE BOLKE LOGON KO SCHEME BATADE. The "hacked" theories gained even more momentum when Pietersen began replying to fans with contextually perfect Bollywood barbs. When a user jokingly asked, "Bhaisahab, yeh kis line mein aa gaye aap? KP didn't miss a beat.
He replied with the iconic Amitabh Bachchan dialogue: "Hum jahan khade ho jaate hain, line wahi se shuru hoti hain"Netizens have responded with a mix of hilarity and suspicion.Following his spree of Hindi replies, one user commented that he now officially deserves an Aadhaar card. At one point, the account even utilized a Sacred Games reference, stating, "Kabhi kabhi lagta hai apun hi bhagwan hai." The cricketer has not yet revealed if his twitter account is hacked or not. Since his retirement from cricket, Pietersen has become a mainstay in cricket media and commentary. His playing career was often controversial, and he also had a brief stint as England captain.
The former England skipper was recently imvolved in a unique contest with legend Andy Murray, in which the pair played their own modified game of cricket. Pietersen donned the role of a batter, and Murray performed as a bowler, but with a twist. Instead of bowling, as in a game of cricket, Murray served tennis balls to Pietersen, and the former England cricketer had to survive.
The contest had different levels, and it began with Murray serving at 60-70mph. Pietersen began on a confident note, but soon Murray found his rhythm, and the body blows began, especially on Pietersen's legs. In the second level, Murray served at 90-99mph, and Pietersen found it hard to deal with, suffering body blows. He also managed to showcase some of his shots, also jokingly calling Murray, "You can do whatever you want to do, Sir Andy!"The contest was hosted in Pietersen's YouTube podcast The Switch. The third level saw Murray getting the option to serve with wet and dry balls at 100mph or more. He began with a wet ball, and Pietersen managed to defend it. A delivery later, the body blows began again, with Pietersen saying, "I think that's missing close," and Murray laughed in response.
Towards the end, Murray said, "I have hit you around eight times."
Then, in the final delivery, he hit Pietersen again, who claimed that Murray could be an aggressive fast bowler.
