After Sachin’s tweet, Pietersen came up with a cryptic tweet as he took to Twitter and wrote, “Can someone please tell me, why you need to announce it to the world, that you have Covid?!”

After this tweet, Indian fans all across the globe fired shots at Pietersen for his comments. In fact, former Indian cricketer, Yuvraj Singh was also involved among the people who questioned Pietersen’s intent behind the tweet.

After seeing the reaction of the fans, Kevin Pietersen had to come up with a clarification. He took to Twitter and wrote, “It was a pretty simple & harmless question, on why many people announce they have Covid on all sorts of SM platforms. The answer around informing people, so people who know they’ve been in contact with that person and must now get tested, makes perfect sense! Thank you!”
