5 interactions cricketers had with spectators near the boundary

4. Kevin Pietersen

A viewer in the crowd tricked Pietersen by apparently asking for an autograph

The former England batsman Kevin Pietersen was trolled badly by the vociferous Australia crowd during the second test match between England and Australia at the Gabba during the 2013 Ashes series.

The incident happened when Pietersen was tricked by a spectator who intended to take his autograph but hilariously backed off when Pietersen went towards him. That set the uproarious Australian fans going as they started shouting at Pietersen, who was fielding near the boundary ropes. Pietersen, however, tried to keep his composure as he showed friendly gestures to the crowd.

The Australian fans surely embarrassed their fierce opponent’s best player that day.
