Former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer roasted former England captain Kevin Pietersen for his jibe at Team India after the hosts pounded England by 317 runs in the second Test match at Chennai.
England cricket team had beaten India in the first Test by 227 runs to take a lead in the four-match Test series and put Virat Kohli-led Team India under tremendous pressure. However, in the second Test match between India and England, Team India bounced back and leveled the four-match Test series by beating visitors by 327 runs.
Talismanic off-spinner R Ashwin was the standout performer for Team India, as he notched up an impressive 8-wicket haul and scored his fifth Test ton to win Player of the Match in the second Test against England.
Former England skipper Kevin Pietersen was quick to congratulate India but also took a dig at the Indian team for beating a second-string England side.
