If IPL wants a promotional video this is it lol. KP is the biggest flag bearer of IPL

 

At least he speaks the truth and isn't a hypocrite. Without IPL England wouldn't have been a force in white-ball cricket. Eng improved in white-ball cricket when Eng players started playing IPL. Likes of KP, Morgan, Buttler etc. were beneficiaries of IPL. Strauss ensured that top Eng players participated in IPL but bitter oldies won't admit the truth.

This is true. This guy tells is how he sees it. Doesn't hide anything behind the curtain. And for that reason, you gotta appriciate people like KP.

Left SA cause quota system meant could not break through....glances over it.

 

Let him call that out as he sees it. SA cricket is an open wound for him.

Never fall for anything that comes out of these people's mouths. His new venture on YouTube "Switch Hit" needs the Indians fans' support.

 

So he's been pressing all the right buttons and saying all the right things about India and Indian cricketers.

Money changed my life

 

Pietersen is a mercenary. Will say/do anything for the lure of $$$.

He is being open about it in the conversation. how money has been a talking point in dressing room.

Think his retirement took cricket back atleast 4-5 yrs that too considering the exponential surge in batting in last couple of years.

 

8k+ test runs with sr of 61 avg 48, odi avg of 40 sr nearly 90 for a mo batter and t20i sr of 140 avg 36+. Think at one time ponting said now on there will be liss his type of player and more of hyden and kp type player.

 

He was fast becoming top batter in all formats, in many ways he along with warner and gayle were true all format players.

What Dravid told him was one of the thing i liked about him. Even though he was not the best player among the fab 4 in our team against spin he had the best technique to handle spin if you are not good at spin. Even before KP got email from Dravid, i used to copy Dravid's batting against spin. After i copied that technique i could notice a dramatic shift. Basically you just thrust your body forward while planting the foot where it is without committing. Bowlers started dropping short for some reason. IT probably gave an illusion that i am coming forward. I can't believe our INdians never had this back and forth approach. Only Kela has that technique. But mental midgetry let him down.

This story has been regurgitated for years now. 

 

Current players who are in and out of the side should approach some past legends and get their issues fixed. Prithvi shaw is one guy who really wasted his career showing no improvement whatsoever. From his batch Gill, Abhishek showed conscious improvement. If one Yuvraj can make difference in the lives of hese guys, Prithvi shaw has access to top flight mumbai players.
