The former England batsman expressed his feeling on Tuesday after External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar posted a picture of an aircraft that had landed with made-in-India vaccines in South Africa. “In it together. Made in India vaccines land in Johannesburg, South Africa,” Jaishankar had tweeted.
Replying to this, Pietersen had tweeted: “Indian generosity and kindness grows more and more every single day. The beloved country!”
