Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen was once roasted by ex-India cricketer MS Dhoni during a live IPL match. Dhoni called him his first Test wicket and the whole commentary panel started laughing, which also had Pietersen in it.

But the English cricketer has always denied Dhoni's claim of being his first Test wicket. He once again cleared it while posting a message for Dhoni on his retirement.

Pietersen said Dhoni never got him out, and the decision was overturned by the third umpire. He was talking about the 2011 Lord's Test between England and India. After Dhoni appealed for a caught behind, Pietersen was given out, but the replays showed no part of the bat had touched the ball.

"MS my great buddy what a career, what a stellar career, what an amazing career what a magical career. one career that you should be so so proud of. All of India all, all of the world is so blessed to have been able to witness one of the most magical careers.

"I think but now at the end of your career, here is one thing, just that one thing, you never got me out. It was referred at Lord's and I get a continue stick from you and your fans that I am your first Test wicket. You know and I know that it never happened, OK!! Now that you are done, let's just clear the air, it never happened. Anyways, buddy what an awesome career, congrats and welcome to the club!!", Pietersen said on Star Sports show 'Cricket Connected'.

Dhoni has no Test wickets, but he has one in ODI cricket which came against West Indies in ICC Champions Trophy 2009.
