Kevin Pietersen is another batsman who is known for his flamboyance. He has been a match-winner for England over the years.

KP is famously known for his switch-hit against the spinners. He has executed this shot with utmost perfection on numerous occasions.

The shot is played by a change of stance at the last moment. So, a right-handed batsman changes his stance to a left-handed one and vice versa, and goes for a slog. The ball invariably lands in the point or the cover boundary.
