Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh and former England batsman Kevin Pietersen have come a long way from their public spat during the tour of 2008 but the duo hasn't forgotten the 'pie chucker' jibe.

Yuvraj Singh poked fun at Kevin Pietersen's social media post on Thursday after the England cricket superstar made a reference to 'pie chucker' once again.

Kevin Pietersen took to Instagram to share a clip of him playing the famous 'switch hit' against former New Zealand medium pacer Scott Styris.

"Just dealing with pies, @englandcricket. The original switch hits @kp24," he wrote as caption to the post.

Replying to the post, Yuvraj Singh wrote: "Well sometimes u slip on those pies too."

Notably, Kevin Pietersen had kicked up a storm when he called Yuvraj Singh a pie chucker after getting out to the left-arm pacer during a Test series in India in 2008. Pietersen went on to say that Yuvraj had bowled 'left-arm filth'.

"When the ball is swinging and seaming and you've got a guy like Zaheer Khan, who is one of the best bowlers I've ever faced, not bowling at you and you've got a pie-chucker like Yuvraj Singh bowling at you I really don't mind. When you get left-arm filth like that it makes you feel really good," Pietersen had said.

Yuvraj Singh did not hold back as he responded to Pieteresen's remarks, saying he quite liked the name given to him.

"It shows KP hates getting out to me and if a useless bowler is getting him out five times then I would say that is quite useless batting," Yuvraj had said.

Nonetheless, the two buried the hatchet and Kevin Pieteresen even wished Yuvraj Singh on his retirement with a pie chucker reference.

"Happy retirement, Pie Chucker. A quite remarkable career with plenty highs and some pretty brutal lows. You showed resilience, courage & pure brilliance throughout your time wearing blue! Love ya, @YUVSTRONG12!," Pietersen had said.
