Former cricketers Kevin Pietersen and Yuvraj Singh were tough competitors on a cricket field, but have also shared a great rapport off it. They are often seen indulging in some banter on social media and the fact that both support different Premier League clubs also adds spice to their virtual duels.
Pietersen, who supports Chelsea, got a chance to rub it in after ‘The Blues’ beat Manchester United 3-1 in the semi-final of the FA Cup. Yuvraj Singh is a die hard Man Utd supporter.

Here’s how the conversation went on Twitter:
“Hi, @YUVSTRONG12 - you ok mate?!” Pietersen asked Yuvi, who replied: “Haha no mate I’m not I’m hurting Face with hand over mouth.”
It didn’t end there as Pietersen went on poking Yuvraj.

{{/usCountry}}“Just checking. Lots of talk a few weeks ago. Just checking you still wanted to chat?! Hope you recover well! You can come watch Champions League as my guest anytime,” Pietersen wrote.
Yuvraj though was calm in his response, “Hmmm let’s see we never give up @ManUtd.”
Chelsea beat Manchester United 3-1 on Sunday to book their place in an all-London FA Cup final, helped by two errors from United goalkeeper David de Gea and an own goal by Harry Maguire. Chelsea, who will face city rivals Arsenal in the August 1 showpiece, had lost to United three times this season but looked brighter from the start at Wembley and took control with goals either side of halftime from Olivier Giroud and Mason Mount.
