Kevin Pietersen's recent Instagram live session with Virat Kohli

Kevin Pietersen thrilled many cricket fans around the world with his live chat with Virat Kohli a few weeks ago where they discussed about several issues. Interestingly, when asked about his most 'enjoyable innings' ever, Kohli chose his 2016 IPL knock against KXIP in which he scored a hundred inside 12 overs. Kohli has quite a history with KXIP and Bopara too incidentally. On Breakfast with Champions, Kohli mentioned about his bowling action being so strange that while bowling one ball during the IPL 2010, he fell to the ground in his followthrough and yet the ball somehow landed to the keeper, Mark Boucher as Ravi Bopara, the batsman had no idea where did that come from.
