While a lot of his followers responded to Pietersen's tweet explaining to him the process to get the PAN card reprinted, the cricket star also got a reply from the Income Tax Department (I-T Dept).

Pietersen, who also tweets in Hindi at times, also posted his initial message seeking help from Indians in Hindi. He also tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the tweet.

भारत कृपया मदद करें⚠️

मैंने अपना पैन कार्ड खो दिया है और सोम यात्रा कर रहा हूं लेकिन काम के लिए भौतिक कार्ड की जरूरत है।

क्या कोई कृपया मुझे किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति के पास भेज सकता है जिससे मैं अपनी सहायता के लिए यथाशीघ्र संपर्क कर सकूं?

Last month, Pietersen was among the few persons across the globe who had received a letter from PM Modi conveying Republic Day greetings on January 26. Pietersen had also posted the letter on Twitter.

Happy Republic Day to all Indians for a couple days ago. A proud country & a powerhouse globally!
I look forward to meeting you in person soon, to thank you for how India is a global leader in protecting its wildlife!
My best wishes!
