Yuvraj recently had a chat with Kevin Pietersen

Yuvraj, after donning the India jersey for 17 years, announced his retirement from international cricket back in June last year. Known as one of the most explosive batsmen, Yuvraj represented the national side in 304 ODI where he amassed 8701 runs and scalped 111 wickets. He also went on to play 58 T20Is where he smashed 1177 runs at a strike rate of 136.66.

Amid the lockdown, Yuvraj recently had a chat with former England batsman Kevin Pietersen where he had revealed that his email address still has the word ‘pie chucker’ in it. Pietersen, after getting out to Yuvraj at many a time, had termed the left-hander ‘a pie chucker’.

“My email address still has the word “pie chucker” in it, I laughed so much when you described me as a pie chucker for my bowling style. I made an email id and included the word pie chucker in that and it is my favourite email address. Sometimes, even my friends go like, hey how are you pie chucker,” Yuvraj had said.
