After losing the first test in the ongoing 4 test match series, India bounced back strongly by beating England in the second test. India on Tuesday defeated England by 317 runs. However, former England captain and batsmen Kevin Pietersen congratulated India in a cheeky way.
Badhai ho india 🇮🇳,England B Ko harane ke liye 😉

“Badhai ho india, England B Ko harane ke liye (Congratulations India, for beating England B”, Pietersen wrote on his Twitter handle.
Further, Kevin Pietersen also lashed out at the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for the strange move to continue its rotation policy even for such a massive series against one of the world’s toughest teams in its backyard.
We played in 2005 on terrestrial TV and BEAT Aus. It changed the game of cricket in this country.
Cricket goes back to terrestrial TV for this HUGE series and England don’t pick their best team for it.

Wow! 😱👀🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

You don’t pick your best team in the hardest place to WIN a Test match, you actually cannot even show emotion to it.

Soon after this, Indian fans were taken aback by Pieterson’s tweet. They not only trolled him but also raised questions on whether the inclusion of Anderson makes England A or Why is Joe Root the captain of England B side?.

Not a single batsman in ‘England B’ who is better than Ashwin!

If England wins it is big win for England but if it loses it is England B. This is called hypocrisy of first order. pic.twitter.com/q2lyP3RNec
