On Thursday, Pietersen caught up with his former Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate and current Indian captain Virat Kohli.

The duo began the much-anticipated chat by discussing the lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Pietersen then asked Kohli where he got his nickname "Chiku" from and the Indian captain revealed, "I got this nickname from a coach in the Ranji Trophy. I used to have big cheeks then. In 2007 I thought I was losing hair. I got my hair cropped and my cheeks and ears stood out. I got the name from a cartoon character. The rabbit in the comic book Champak."

The coronavirus pandemic has brought the sporting world to a standstill.

Tokyo Olympics, Wimbledon, UEFA Champions League and other major sporting events are either cancelled or postponed due to the outbreak of the deadly virus.
