In 2017, Kevin Pietersen and MS Dhoni had a light-hearted exchange during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match. Nearly six years later, Pietersen tweeted a video of the exchange, reminding Dhoni that he was not his first wicket. Pietersen also shared a video of a game in which Dhoni was dismissed by Pietersen. Despite this banter, Pietersen has expressed admiration for Dhoni many times over the years, even urging him to continue playing. Dhoni has yet to respond to Pietersen’s teasing. Pietersen and Dhoni have faced each other a number of times during their illustrious careers
Dhoni has played over 500 international games but finished his career without a Test wicket. Meanwhile, Pietersen, who was one of the biggest stars of IPL, retired and joined the commentary box. Pietersen posted the tweets in a light-hearted manner and it remains to be seen if Dhoni will respond to his former opponent.
