Former Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh and England batter Kevin Pietersen have often exchanged banter on Twitter. Both the former players never miss a chance to pull each other’s leg on the social media platform. Subsequently, Yuvraj Singh took a dig at the former England batsman when the former praised Rohit Sharma for his fourth World Cup hundred of this edition.

Yuvraj Singh had earlier made the prediction that Rohit Sharma is going to be the Player of the tournament. Singh had shared his prediction after Rohit Sharma had scored a blistering hundred against Pakistan on 16th June.

Subsequently, Kevin Pietersen tried to pull Yuvraj Singh’s leg as he said it would not happen if England wins the World Cup. His Post read as, “Not if England wins the WC, Pie-Chucker!”
