New Delhi: Friendly banters are what make cricket as a sport even more entertaining. The IPL 10 clash between Rising Pune Supergiant and Mumbai Indians produced one of the most memorable banter incidents ever when MS Dhoni trolled 'commentator' Kevin Pietersen after the latter said he is better of the two at golf.
Initiating second innings of the banter, Pietersen took to Twitter after the conclusion of the match hailing Dhoni's magnificent response.
"Magnificent from @msdhoni on the mic this eve! So much fun for viewers to get the humorous side of a champion! I'm still better at golf!," tweeted KP.

It was Manoj Tiwary at first slip, who was on microphone chatting with Pietersen when the former England captain said: "Manoj just tell MS that I am a better golfer than him."
Manoj was seen duly conveying the message to Dhoni after a delivery. "Pietersen kah raha hain woh aapse accha golfer hain (he is saying he is a better golfer than you)."
Dhoni leaned towards the microphone connected with Manoj and replied with a straight face: "But you are still my only Test wicket!" Pietersen was seen laughing.
Dhoni, however, forgot that his appeal to get Pietersen caught behind during the 2011 tour to England was turned down by umpire Billy Bowden.
