Former India opener Wasim Jaffer is well known for sharing cryptic posts and memes on social media, leaving the fans and cricket enthusiast in splits. In a similar way, he did not refrain from replying to former England skipper Kevin Pietersen after England suffered a 5-wicket defeat to New Zealand in semi-final 1 of the T20 World Cup 2021.
On November 2, Kevin Pietersen had put a tweet stating England should be given the trophy seeing their performance in the tournament. He also said that Pakistan & Afghanistan are two sides who are capable of beating the Eoin Morgan-led team on the Sharjah pitch.

After England’s defeat at the hands of New Zealand which has led to their elimination from the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021, Wasim Jaffer has come up with an epic response to Pietersen.
Jaffer posted a picture of New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson with a caption reading, “Haa, hum to yaha bass Burj Khalifa dekhne aaye hai.” The statement translates to “Yeah, we have just come to see the Burj Khalifa”.
Check out his response on the same:
Riding on opener Daryl Mitchell’s match-winning knock (72 off 47 balls) and James Neesham’s quick cameo which came in the middle overs of the game, New Zealand registered a remarkable five-wicket victory over England. Notably, this is will be first appearance at the T20 World Cup.
The second finalist will be decided later today after the match between Pakistan & Australia. The final will be played on November 14 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
