During a recent interaction with former India speedster, former England batsman Kevin Pietersen made a bizarre remark about former India captain MS Dhoni.

Pietersen stated that MSD was in his pocket, referring to the time he dismissed legendry wicketkeeper-batsman for his second wicket in a Test match at The Oval. Dhoni was batting on 92 when Pietersen bowled a delivery that breached his defences.

“Great Mahendra Singh Dhoni in my pocket,” said Pietersen in his remark.

However, Zaheer was quick to reply and shut Pietersen up by stating that even Yuvraj Singh says the same about Pietersen.

India will face England for the third Test in Rajkot from February 15.

Notably, India beat England by 108 runs in the second Test to level the five-match Test series 1-1. Jasprit Bumrah stole the show for the Rohit Sharma-led side as he picked up nine wickets in the game to be adjudged man of the match.

Despite having a huge first-innings lead, hosts India had suffered a heartbreaking loss against England in the first Test.
