Amid the coronavirus pandemic, there has been heightened activity from cricketers on social media. This has led to fans being treated to some epic banter between their favourite cricketing stars and former England batsman Kevin Pietersen has pretty much been at the forefront of it. Pietersen has now found an able trolling partner in Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkara as former England all-rounder Ravi Bopara found out after he shared a picture of himself from his younger days on Twitter.
The ex-England all-rounder captioned the pictured, "Look how fat I was," adding a 'donut' emoji.
What followed was a complete massacre as Kumar Sangakkara and Kevin Pietersen along with a few others went to town. The Sri Lankan superstar started the trolling with a brutal response.
"And you still are," wrote Sangakkara.
Replying to the former Sri Lanka captain's comment, Pietersen chipped in: "Exactly. Nothing's changed".
This was followed by a laughing emoji from Sangakkara.
Former England Women's team cricketer and current commentator, Isa Guha joined in the fun, responding to Sangakkara's savage reply with an "Ouch".
Former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody too couldn't keep himself away from the banter, commenting on Bopara's picture by saying, "Must be the light or the angle mate!".
The England and Wales Cricket Board announced last week that the start of the 2020 season had been pushed back again until July at the earliest -- nearly three months after the original scheduled start.
Attempts will be made to reschedule international fixtures for the period from July until the end of September, including the West Indies Test tour of England, which had been planned for June.
