After Nasser Hussain, England's former cricket captain asked Pakistan fans whom they would support between India and England, he received a lot of comments from people on Twitter. Responding to these comments, Hussain put up another tweet saying that he expected angry comments on the post. But instead, he received a lot of love and humour from people over his comment. "I put this tweet out yesterday as I bit of a cheeky joke .. half expecting a lot of anger and aggression.. actually what we got was a lot of love and humour," Nasser wrote.

Love from fans for Nasser

Hussain's trilogy 

Love you Hussain

God bless you Hussain

Over the same tweet, former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen also took a dig at Hussain, asking him whom he himself supports in the match. Pietersen’s joke was directed towards Hussain being of Indian-origins. To this, the latter came with a hilarious response taking a dig at Pietersen’s South-African origin. “England of course Kev .. same as you when England play South Africa at rugby”, he wrote.

The 51-year-old Hussain was born in India while 39-year-old Pietersen was born in South Africa, therefore. Both cricketers have their roots in other countries but they played cricket for England.
