Pieterson Asks Fans To Back Off Criticism, Says 'you Cannot Have A Pop At Stokes For Frustration'
New Delhi: Former England batter Kevin Pietersen has asked fans to back off of skipper Ben Stokes after he was visibly irritated by India’s decision to continue batting, after being offered to shake hands and call it a draw, till Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar reached their respective centuries.
Pieterson believes, given the situation, Stokes cannot be blamed for wanting to get off the field and the criticism that has followed is unfair, as only the players in the ring feel the emotions.
"2 days fielding and no result on the cards - you WANT to get off the field! You cannot have a pop at Ben Stokes for his frustration. Very easy to have a pop at him when you’re sitting in your lounge watching. You’re NOT in the battle. Leave the men in the ring to be emotional,” posted Pieterson.
