Pietersen, 39, had captioned the video as “Just dealing with pies” bringing out the reference of his infamous ‘pie-chucker’ comment towards Yuvraj during his playing days.

Pietersen had first called Yuvi “pie-chucker” during the 2008 India vs England Test series after the latter had dismissed him. “When the ball is swinging and seaming and you’ve got a guy like Zaheer Khan, who is one of the best bowlers I’ve ever faced, not bowling at you and you’ve got a pie-chucker like Yuvraj Singh bowling at you I really don’t mind. When you get left-arm filth like that it makes you feel really good,” Pietersen had said.
