Kevin Pietersen Issues Clarification
Come on guys!
This tribalism with/against Indian players on social media needs to slow down!
Example - @RayuduAmbati and I were messing around after the IPL final and all of sudden that banter has turned into an avalanche of abuse towards Ambati.
PLEASE stop it? 🙏🏽
