Kevin Pietersen boasted, "I had 'MSD in my pocket' when I dismissed the former Indian captain," to which Zaheer Khan responded with a witty comeback.

In a lighthearted exchange during Day 4 of the 2nd India vs England Test, Kevin Pietersen playfully boasted about having dismissed the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni during a Test match at The Oval. Pietersen's remark, made in jest, was met with a quick-witted response from Zaheer Khan, who reminded him of the numerous times Yuvraj Singh had dismissed him in the past.

Pietersen humorously quipped about having Dhoni "in his pocket," referring to the memorable moment when he bowled out Dhoni for his second wicket in the Test match, with Dhoni just eight runs shy of a century. However, Zaheer swiftly turned the conversation, highlighting Yuvraj Singh's dominance over Pietersen in ODIs, having dismissed him five times, earning him the nickname "bunny."

Acknowledging Yuvraj's prowess, Pietersen jokingly admitted to being on the receiving end of his bowling skills. The banter continued as Zaheer recalled Pietersen's special nickname for Yuvraj, which the latter even used as his email ID for a period of time. Pietersen reflected on the fierce battles they had on the field, emphasizing the camaraderie and humor that can develop between competitors over time.

He likened their banter to the potential future exchanges between players like Ravichandran Ashwin and Ben Stokes once their playing careers have ended. Pietersen's lively commentary during the Tests added entertainment value to the matches, although his departure back to England left a question mark regarding who would fill his shoes in the broadcast panel.

Overall, the conversation showcased the friendly rivalry and mutual respect between players, even in moments of jest and banter, highlighting the camaraderie that transcends the competitive arena of cricket.
