‘Satark rahe’ – Kevin Pietersen sends a warning to Team India
The Indian team scripted a historic win in the fourth and final Test at the Gabba, which sealed the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21 for them. With this win, the Indian team won the series 2-1. This was India’s second successive series win in Australia, something has been done only by South Africa in this century. On the last day of the series, it was a spirited batting display by the Indians which helped them to get a win that would be remembered.
But for the cricket fans, it wasn’t the end of quality cricket. India will be taking on England at home in a few weeks’ time. Former England captain Kevin Pietersen didn’t leave this opportunity to remind the Indians about the challenge which they will be soon facing against a tough England side. However, the former captain made sure that he puts this message in a language that all the Indians would understand.
The real team will be coming to your home: Kevin Pietersen
Pietersen in his tweet, wrote in Hindi, in which he was trying to remind the Indian players that they shouldn’t be celebrating a lot as the real challenge is yet to come to them.
The tweet in translation in English quite literally means, “India – celebrate this victory because it has come while you were fighting against all the difficulties. However, the real team (referring to England) will be coming to your home in a few weeks, whom you have to defeat. Beware, make sure you don’t celebrate this victory too much for the next two weeks.”
India 🇮🇳 – yeh aitihaasik jeet ka jashn manaye kyuki yeh sabhi baadhao ke khilaap hasil hui hai
LEKIN , ASLI TEAM 🏴 😉 toh kuch hafto baad a rahi hai jisse aapko harana hoga apne ghar mein .
Satark rahe , 2 saptaah mein bahut adhik jashn manaane se saavadhaan rahen 😉
