Not much needs to be said about this enigmatic South African-born Englishman. In terms of pure talent, only a few players could rival him as, on his best day, he could single-handedly win his team a game.

However, the only complaint that has followed him ever since his christening in the cricket world is his volatile and somewhat arrogant nature. Though, it can be argued that someone as insanely talented as him, who makes batting look so easy and effortless, has the right to be like that.

In Pietersen, the Rising Pune Supergiants have bought themselves a true star for Rs. 3.5 crores. He was among the better performers in the Pakistan Super League and is likely to keep playing at the level of his career figures that boast an average of 34.71 and a strike-rate of 136.44 in T20s.
