Former England captain Kevin Pietersen had a horrific incident on Saturday which saw his flight go into a spin. As Iran fired missiles at Israel, Patterson claimed that his flight had to go around and needed to refuel. Sharing a post on social media on Sunday, Patterson revealed the horrific ordeal he went through. All this seemed to happen when the England great was about to leave for Mumbai for the Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings.

“Well that’s the first thing. Last night our plane had to go back and put on another big load of fuel because we had to change course to avoid Iran’s missiles. Madness!!!! Anyway, in Mumbai and later. One of my favorite cricket grounds in Wankhede!” Patterson wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
