Johannesburg: Former England cricketer-turned-commentator Kevin Pietersen has warned India of the strong England side that will be touring the Asian country next month for Test, ODI and T20I series. The former captain tweeted in Hindi language and said that ‘real team’ is coming to take on them.
“India – yeh aitihaasik jeet ka jashn manaye kyuki yeh sabhi baadhao ke khilaap hasil hui hai (India celebrate this historic win because it has come after overcoming all the obstacles),” Pietersen tweeted.
“LEKIN, ASLI TEAM toh kuch hafto baad a rahi hai jisse aapko harana hoga apne ghar mein (But the real team is coming after a few weeks and you have to beat it in your own backyard),” he wrote referring to India’s next assignment against England at home.

“Satark rahe, 2 saptaah mein bahut adhik jashn manaane se saavadhaan rahen (Stay alert and don’t over-celebrate in these two weeks),” added the right-handed batsman.
In the home series against England, Virat Kohli will be back at the helm as he returned to the squad after missing the last three Tests in Australia due to the birth of his first child.
Currently, England are locking horns in a two-match Test series in Sri Lanka, will be traveling to India next month where they will take on India in four Tests, five T20Is, and three ODIs. The four-match series will start from February 5 and will be played inside a bio- secure bubble in Chennai and Ahmedabad.
