Kevin Pietersen, who turns 36 in a couple of months, will be playing for Rising Pune Supergiants, the new franchise on the block. Pietersen could well be a little rusty initially as he doesn’t play much competitive cricket these days.

Pietersen has always been a treat to watch when in full flow and some of his enterprising knocks for RCB and Delhi Daredevils in the previous editions of IPL comes to mind instantly.

It will be interesting to see how MS Dhoni manages the maverick Pietersen in his side. The former England skipper was in stunning form in the RamSlam T20 competition in South Africa and if he could repeat some of that in this edition of the IPL, Pune will have no reason to complain.
