T20 World Cup: "Haa, hum to yaha bass Burj Khalifa dekhne aaye hai" - Wasim Jaffer's witty reply to Kevin Pietersen
Wasim Jaffer's wit and sense of humor has been well-documented on his official Twitter handle. The former Indian batter was at his humorous best again, this time in response to a tweet by Kevin Pietersen.
Jaffer's latest tweet comes on the back of New Zealand beating England in the second semi-final and making it to the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021.
But on November 2, Kevin Pietersen put out a tweet stating that England should be handed the trophy already. The former England batter believed only Pakistan and Afghanistan were capable of beating the Eoin Morgan-led team, but that too on a used pitch in Sharjah.
Following England's elimination from the T20 World Cup, Wasim Jaffer has come up with an epic response. Jaffer posted a picture of a smiling Kane Williamson with the caption:
"Haa, hum to yaha bass Burj Khalifa dekhne aaye hai." ("Yeah, because we have just come to see the Burj Khalifa")
Take a look at Wasim Jaffer's witty tweet below:
New Zealand reach the T20 World Cup final for the first time
New Zealand defeated England by five wickets in the first semi-final to make their maiden final appearance at the T20 World Cup.
Put in to bat first, England put up 166/4 in their 20 overs, thanks to an unbeaten 37-ball 51 from Moeen Ali and a 30-ball 41 by Dawid Malan. In reply, New Zealand's chase got off to a shaky start with Chris Woakes getting the better of Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson upfront.
But Daryl Mitchell and Devon Conway led the resurrection with a 82-run partnership. This was before James Neesham came out all guns blazing and played a valuable knock of 27 off just 10 deliveries, including three sixes. Mitchell carried on to make an unbeaten 72 off 47 deliveries before sealing the game in style with a boundary.
New Zealand now await the winner of the second semi-final clash between Pakistan and Australia. The final will be held on Sunday, November 14.
