Kevin Pietersen seemed to be happiest man on planet as his locked Twitter account was finally restored. 
As per reports, KP's official Twitter account was restored a few hours after it was locked for violating rules against abuse and harassment. It so happened that Pietersen h jokingly threatened to slap a British journalist and television presenter Piers Morgan which led to his account being blocked by Twitter.

What really went wrong?

“I slap you when I see you! That won’t be nsense,” was tweet in question by Pietersen. 2010 T20 World Cup winner took to his Instagram stories to speak up about Twitter ban. He wrote, “What kind of world do we live in when you can’t even joke with a mate?!”

In a separate story, he ded that he has appealed against  'truly ridiculous ban'. Morgan, on or hand, said it was ‘amusing’ that Pietersen’s account h been locked but ded that it was an ‘obvious joke’ while calling for his account to be reinstated.

“Amusing though this is, it was an obvious joke and a) I don’t feel remotely harassed b) he can’t slap his way out of a paper bag,” Morgan tweeted.


Earlier this week, ex-all-rounder and presenter h an interaction on Twitter where duo exchanged barbs in a debate over wher  re-opening of pubs in United Kingdom was a good move.
