Dhoni teases Pietersen saying that he was his first Test wicket.
There has been an ongoing trolling thing between MS Dhoni and Kevin Pietersen since 2011. The thing is that MS Dhoni had the England batting star caught behind in a Test match during a Test match in the Tour of England that year and refers to KP as his first Test wicket.
Pietersen raised the issue once more during the IPL 2017 when Dhoni was playing for Rising Pune Supergiant, where they were also former teammates. He said to Manoj Tiwary, who was mic’ed up, “Can you do me a favor? Can you just whisper MS that I’m a better golfer than him.”

Dhoni gave a perfect reply to Pietersen and said, “He is still my first Test wicket.”
However, Kevin Pietersen had asked for a review and was given not out after the hot spot failed to produce any impression. However, Dhoni has multiple times called him his first Test wicket.
This issue was also brought up during Pietersen’s Instagram Live chat with Indian captain Virat Kohli. During this chat, Pietersen mentioned,” A lot of people told me, I am Dhoni’s first test wicket. I referred it & I was given not out remember?” To this Kohli replied, “Yeah, I know. Look the thing is, MS has a point, It came up on the stump mics and nothing came on the hotspot so he has a point.”
To this, a frustrated KP replied, “Oh, you stop backing him.”
