Former England batter Kevin Pietersen has taken another dig at London mayor Sadiq Khan amid cases of mugging in the city. He shared a picture of his hand on his X handle and wrote that he was traveling to London without wearing his watch.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, the maverick former England captain had previously been pictured wearing a £20,000 Hublot watch.

"Gotta go into London today. NO WATCH and a plastic ring!. Congrats, @SadiqKhan."

Last month, the 43-year-old had lashed out at the London mayor following a stabbing incident on a train between Shortlands and Beckenham on March 28. While sharing a video of the horrific stabbing incident on his X handle. Pietersen said:

"WTAF is this now in London?!?!?! London was once the most amazing city. It’s an absolute disgrace of a place... @SadiqKhan must be really proud of what he’s created?!

Speaking of the stabbing incident, as per reports, two men entered Shortlands Railway Station and stabbed the victim. In a viral video, a person can be seen repeatedly slashing and attacking someone on a moving train at Beckenham Junction.
