Yuvraj Singh, Kevin Pietersen exchange hilarious banter on Rohit Sharma\'s ton
Mumbai: Yuvraj Singh and Kevin Pietersen had a hilarious Twitter conversation regarding Rohit Sharma after the Indian opener smashed the fourth century of ICC World Cup 2019 on Tuesday.
Rohit equalled Sangakkara's record of four tons in a single World Cup. Rohit and Sangakkara now hold the record of most hundred in a single edition of the World Cup. Rohit eventually got out at 104 off 92 deliveries.

However, Pietersen disagreed and made it a point to let Yuvraj know.
"Not if England wins the WC, Pie-Chucker!" Pietersen replied.

Yuvraj did not back down and joked that he was talking about the 'Man of the Series' trophy. To win, both teams had to qualify first.
"Let's qualify first and then talk about winning ?? and I'm talking about mos trophy not winning !" Yuvraj said.
With Yuvraj talking qualification, Pietersen said, "I'm sure India will qualify mate!"
I’m sure India will qualify mate!
