<p>Former England skipper Kevin Pietersen on Thursday continued his series of Instagram Live sessions as he was joined in by Indian captain Virat Kohli and the duo discussed all things related to cricket, their friendship, life and situation surrounding COVID-19 pandemic. However, the live session witnessed a hilarious moment when Kohli’s wife and Bollywood superstar Anushka Sharma hijacked the conversation and asked Kohli to come for dinner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli and Pietersen share a great rapport since playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore for two seasons – 2009 and 2010 – in Indian Premier League before the Englishman moved to the Delhi-based franchise in 2012. The duo discussed RCB’s performance in IPL over the years while the Indian skipper also revealed why he transformed into a vegetarian.</p>

<p>Kohli, during the live session, said that he has never spent so much time with Anushka since their marriage in 2017.</p>

<p>“It is the longest we have spent together in one place since we have been married. We have never been in one place for so long at the same time. It’s bizarre. It’s not a good thing to single out this as an opportunity to spend time. But it is what it is. We have to be positive and we are being cautious. These are strange times,” the Indian skipper said.</p>

<p>However, as Kohli and Pietersen continued with their discussion, Anushka suddenly commented on it and asked Kohli to join her for dinner. "Chalo chalo dinner time," wrote Anushka, asking Kohli and Pietersen to end their chat.</p>

Virat Kohli to join Kevin Pietersen on Instagram live session

<p>Former English batsman Kevin Pietersen had a funny banter with Pakistan's batsman Ahmed Shehzad. As the game of cricket has come to a halt due to the on-going coronavirus pandemic the Englishman has been doing live chats through Instagram. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The interview was full of goof ups and Pietersen roasting Shehzad. Ahmed Shehzad was a part of Quetta Gladiators in this year's Pakistan Super League (PSL). But he named the Indian Premier League instead of his native league.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shehzad said: "I have tried my best in this IPL. I have been working hard."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ahmed Shehzad has had a nightmare of a season under the captain Sarfaraz Ahmad. Shehzad managed to score 61 runs in seven matches with 12 being the highest score.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shehzad blamed it on his batting order, he said he was not comfortable batting at number three. Pietersen took a jibe at the Pakistan player, he said: "You don’t want to bat 1, 2 or 3. You can’t bat 4 or 5, you go bat at No. 13 for the Quetta Gladiators next season. You won’t even bat 13 for the first team, you can bat at that position only for the third team."</p>

<p>Later on, Pietersen asked Shehzad that what he was doing in the northern part of the Lahore. Answering that question, the 28-year-old said that he was there for the quarantine period.</p>

<p>The former player said he is talking so much nonsense it reminded him of what he used to do in the dressing room.</p>
