Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen who is pretty active on social media, was back at it yet again after the visiting England side defeated the hosts India comprehensively in the first Test in Chennai. Pietersen on Tuesday after the result reminded India of his heads up, he gave on January 19 when India had completed a 2-1 heist against Australia by beating them at their fortress 'Gabba', in Hindi.
Pietersen wrote, "India , yaad hai maine pehele hi chetawani di thi ke itna jasn na manaye jab aapne Australia ko unke ghar pe haraya that (Remember India, I had given you a heads up against celebrating too much when you defeated Australia on their home soil)."

Two weeks ago, Pietersen had warned India against the same and said that the real team was coming a few weeks later, whom they would have to beat since the series will be played in India's home conditions.
Pietersen wrote, "India - yeh aitihaasik jeet ka jashn manaye kyuki yeh sabhi baadhao ke khilaap hasil hui hai (India, celebrate this historic win since it has come against all odds)."
"LEKIN , ASLI TEAM toh kuch hafto baad a rahi hai jisse aapko harana hoga apne ghar mein (But, the real team {England} is coming in a few weeks time and you'll have to beat them in your own backyard)."
"Satark rahe , 2 saptaah mein bahut adhik jashn manaane se saavadhaan rahen (Be cautious, don't celebrate too much in those two weeks)," Pietersen had written in the Tweet on January 19.

England beat India pretty handsomely in the first Test as the hosts could muster only 192 runs in the final innings of the Test match when they needed to make 420 runs. The ageless James Anderson, who has 600-plus wickets to his name showed his capability with the old ball and what a weapon he becomes when it is reverse swinging. Apart from Virat Kohli, who showed some resolve with a 72-run knock, none of the Indian batsmen could stand for much longer and the innings was wrapped by the English left-arm spinner Jack Leach, quite quickly.
