“I have to stop by London today. No plastic watch and ring! Congratulations, Sadiq Khan!”
Cricket legend Kevin Pietersen, 43, posted this message along with a photo of his hand on the X on Tuesday, and it didn't take long for reactions to take place. He is a South African-English cricket commentator.
The 43-year-old is 1.93 years tall and of strong build, but believes it is not safe to walk around the streets of London carrying valuables with him. He was previously photographed wearing a watch worth NOK 260,000, the Daily Mail writes.
That's why he also pointed out London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who he clearly believes has not done enough to reduce crime in the UK capital. The latter did not comment on the case.
Petersen's post received more than ten million views and nearly 7,000 people commented on his performance. Many suggest that there is nothing better in his native South Africa, and many believe that he is exaggerating. They are also the ones who praise him for the message.
TV personality Piers Morgan is among those who commented on the post X.
“Scared of Kevin. If anyone sees him, he's 1.93 years old and built like a wall. He's spent half his life in the African bush surrounded by wild animals, and he's used to balls being hit at him at over 100mph. “I hope he survives the trip. Day trip to London,” Morgan wrote sarcastically.
