England’s planned ‘BazBall’ strategy came crumbling down in front of Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja on Day 1 of their opening Test match of the series in Hyderabad. Despite racing to a 55-run opening stand in just 12 overs inside the first hour of the morning, the visitors ended up losing eight wickets by Tea.

Notably, former England captain Kevin Pietersen had made a rather bold prediction on X (formerly Twitter) about the eventual outcome. Prior to the commencement of play, Pietersen claimed that England would likely have their innings declared at 450 before stumps. A couple of hours later, the cricketer-turned-commentator promptly ate up his own words upon witnessing the English batting collapse.

Former Indian opening batsman Wasim Jaffer took note of Pietersen’s contrasting claims and mocked the Englishmen on the microblogging site by tagging Dinesh Karthik.


Jaffer trolls Kevin Pietersen after ENG collapse

Earlier on Day 1 of the opening Test match between hosts India and England at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, former cricketer Kevin Pietersen predicted the visitors would declare at 450 before the close of play. Upon witnessing England’s batting collapse at the hands of Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, Pietersen later claimed that the match might well turn out to be a two-day affair instead.

Wasim Jaffer trolled the Englishmen over his quick and contrasting predictions and tagged Dinesh Karthik in his sarcastic post on the microblogging site. Here is how the entire episode panned out:


England reached 215-8 off 59 overs by Tea on Day 1. After Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj failed to rattle England’s top-order, ace spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, as well as Axar Patel hacked through the visitor’s line-up with ease.
