It’s funny how often he is criticised for being arrogant but if you actually listen to him speak, he is very self aware, criticises himself when necessary and holds great admiration for other cricketers.
He is criticised for speaking his mind...very few have the guts to speak their mind.
He was very talented and knew it, thus was confident which can be deemed arrogant....
I swear to God, it's the accent. At the end, he talks about how badly he was struggling then, a month later, he scored 220 in Adelaide. If Flintoff tells that story, it sounds all homely because of his Lancastrian accent. Pietersen tells it in his faded Durban accent, it sounds like a humblebrag.
F the haters though, the man's a genius with a piece of willow in his hand.
As an Aussie fan, I was very disappointed English cricket got rid of him and at the same time wasn't because he was THAT good
@@KojoGotMojo hi I am Indian
In my point, stupid ECB sacked him mercilessly because of his misunderstanding with the board he could have played few more years
He was the key player for England to win 2010 T20 World Cup which was the first ever ICC event success England had ever tasted
You listen when KP talks batting
👍
This is what you expect from experts as a fan. Don't waste energy criticising the players and the pitch, but instead provide us with a masterclass on how to play on such pitches
Lol he's KP. He has opinions on literally everthing.
Like any English
Yeah, I was not happy with Alastair Cook tearing Rory Burns apart on BT over the winter.
One of the very few English batsmen who conquered rank turners of India and not even a single question on spin. What a drag!
Almost a decade in we still remember his 186 at Mumbai. Still hurts but man that was some innings!
Out of my years of batting, when I first seen this and applied this to my batting ive improved my scores so much thanks KP.
Same here the 'head to ball' completely changed my game. I am short and really skinny but can still manage to score heaps of runs.
Unfortunately I am in India so cant really play competitive cricket at this stage but i love my game
@@sharan9993 congratulation
My favorite moment where KP involved was not a moment he shined though. It was in a test match where Malinga set him up and then bounced him out with a beauty. When that happened, I was like... ddaaaaaaammnnn. KP to me is the best English player and best against spin. He hit Murali for six with a reverse sweep when Murali was on his peak.
Mumbai 186 best innings played by an Englishman probably any foreign batsman... Absolute maverick...his career will make for a riveting movie
This guy is a legend of the game, great content
ECB completely destroyed the talent of Kevin Pieterson. the kind of batsman he was, he used to put fear in the bowler even before he faced the first ball because as a bowler you always know that KP is not gonna hang around even a slight mistake and the ball is out of the park. had ECB handled KP better he would have easily become one of the best batsmen in the world.
I think he was like VVS, can take his wicket but impossible to stop scoring, even more difficult than Sachin.
KP needs to take responsibility for the debacle that followed. His behaviour was appalling and he contributed to his own downfall.
He did become one of the best batsmen in the world.
Cool story bro
@@robertwilliams-mv9ok so? It doesn’t excuse him having behaved like a plank.
That innings Kevin Pietersen played in ashes 2005 when he made 158 was one the greatest innings ever against legendary bowling attack of Australia brett Lee Shane Warne jason gillespie Glen McGrath Kevin Pietersen was 1 man army he single handedly destroyed that bowling attack 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jason Gillespie was dropped for the fourth and fifth test, it was Shaun Tait in his place
He is completely right about the head position being the most important. You look at all the great players and they have great head position but they don't necessarily all have amazing footwork. It's about balance at the crease and getting into the right position at the point of contact.
Wow! I can listen to KP all day
Just head position how simple the game is
It's not eating loving food in the plate..if it's easy all are becoming Tendulkar, Bradman, Ponting,Lara,Sanga..etc etc
@@jaijanasena257 guess who can’t take a joke
@@ethanhunt634 "absolutely"...try to trash the great KP while comparing them with other batsman....a blunder bigger than pearl harbour
@@ethanhunt634 an Indian
Keep it simple as Kevin says. The wrists can do the rest
One of my Favourite cricketer.... KP ❤️
Strong finish at the end 😂😂..a month later 220 at the Adelaide
I could literally listen to KP all day long!
Every tall batter’s inspiration. 😂
I saw this guy playing for Sydney University 1st Grade team hitting incredible shots. He'd basically tell the bowler where he was going to hit the next ball, and usually it'd go exactly where he said. That was 2 - 3 seasons before he ever played England. I knew then he would definitely play for England, it was just a case of how disciplined he was would decide the career he'd have.
My favourite english. Cricketer... legend..❤️❤️
Always read to learn for KP🙏🏻
It's always difficult for tall batters, Thanks for advice KP,
Wonderful wonderful batsmen....I was there in Mumbai when he scored that 186
KP one of the all times Great!!
Kp big fan...super coaching
What a talented boy ❤❤💝👌
The Best English Batsman of all time. Period. England, English people, English selectors and their medieval ideologies about cricket lmao. Glad they're finally waking up
I won't say of all time..He is England greatest modern day batsman for sure though
@@faith_in_the_future well no english cricketer knew how to bat against spin and he knew.
By the way he is South African
Disagree, Joe Root by the time he is finished will be the best English batsman of all time.
Alistair Cook is the only one that is debatable. Maybe root when his career is over
Just love KP and how great a teacher he is in making things so simple... I have applied KPs principles in the nets and I was a ten times better batsman
Thank you KP sir.
Could watch and Listen to Kevin Pietersen all day
Thanks a lot for this
This helped a lot.
Playing cricket with my friends last year was such a memory, I moved states, and now I am not able to play cricket with them, I used to dominate batting along my other friend, who was the best in the neighborhood.
Before them ABDs, Maxwells & Butllers there was a certain KP who used to reverse sweep Murali for 6s..🔥
Yes
It's amazing that KP is being underutilized by the ECB.
Fantastic!
An underrated legend.... 🙏
Kevin Pieterson, The beauty
KP you are Great Batsmen from England you are one of Best Aggressive Batsmen in world
GENIUS.
Thank you Kevin 😊
I’ve been an avid 🏴 🏏 fan since the summer of 1985 inclusive (nice place to start!). Only three batsmen achieved greatness during that time imho: Gooch (by dint of what happened after he assumed the captaincy), Alastair Cook and KP and of those only KP looked like a great from his very first Test. Never mind Blighty, only a handful of batsmen anywhere in the world have been able to instil fear in opposition bowlers like this guy. Mesmerising when in full flow.
What about Andrew Strauss ?
Where are you from?
KP 🤩💜
Always was one of my favourite batsman even when he started his county cricket. He got 100s and then came on against the aussies and started making 100s. Truly a world champ 🏆🏏
By far, the greatest England batsman
Class for ever
one of my favourite cricketer
Man I love ur talent...u can create a good impression and fan base all over the world..just stop criticising and complaining about pitch
Thanks Pietersen mate!
He is a talented chap and one of the legend in world cricket
The King 👑
Good Advice 🔥
KP excellent cricketer 🙌💥🔥👏
Best England batsman I've ever seen by quite a distance.
Gosh I miss kp. He was the godfather of fearless batting.
Morgan picked up where he left off and modernised English cricket to what we see today.
Kevin Pietersen is my one of the favourite from that era
No better person to talk cricket KP you beauty
Love pieterson from India
The man is revolution himself
Please upload one of Ricky Ponting, Nassir Husain showing slip catching
Full video request
best batsman of al time kp
Sehwag, Kevin, and Gayle are some the gifted individuals whose play is so simple and effective but they are not credited as much as Tendulkar pointing / Lara. People like these win matches. If possible get to know the thoughts of these people. Some times not less, its these people who change the game we see than the testbook ones.
One of the Finest and smartest batsman of England
kevin pietersen is the most smartest player ever. Its a shame that his knowledge and his experience have not been adequately used by the ecb.
Still is a great cricket player... gets into the England side although there are decent players in the current England side
If TOM Banton works hard I see him becoming next KP
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
erm no
No one can be kp tom is a extraordinary but kp is just masterclass
@@shaikhhamza9989 well said shailk
Love from India. Although you had beautiful bat lift with aggressive cricket strokes but you needed to work on quality spinners esp picking up dusra I saw you struggle against Syed Ajmal, Ashwin and Herath. Except that you were good stroke player batsman and I enjoyed watching you bat.
K P is a Legend
Key to becoming a top batsman... start as a bowler
Ab de villiers,virat kohli or some more legends(opener if possible like tendulkar sehwag warner finch)
Ashes 2005 ton was always remind
Make master classes of kane Williamson,bc mucllum and ab de villiers
The real hero of this video is that cameraman at silly mid on
All ears on entire day
When kp on 🎙️
SKY CRICKET Should send this VIDEO to all England Squad & Batters which are currently on tour to India .... That might help England in giving a contest to India in 4th TEST instead of moaning and groaning about Pitches as rightly said by Great of all Time
SIR Vivian Richards
🐐
Awesome batsman. "Head to the ball" is a great thought to have as the bowler comes in to deliver.
Here's an observation though - his foot doesn't get to the pitch of the ball because.....
as he takes his stance he grounds his bat then looks up and lifts his bat simultaneously to face the bowler. If instead, he kept his bat grounded, then looked up to face the bowler and only then lifted his bat to complete his address position, he would find that his front foot would move automatically to the pitch of the ball as he executed his shot using his "head to the ball" simplifying technique.
Would it be possible to ask him - superstar legend that he is - to try this and see if it works for him?
I dont think the backlift would make much of a difference
When kevin said he will on drive, camera man was like, oh I should better cover my nuts now
Many people won't agree but u were the only true successor to the Great Viv Richards.
Tbh him along wid Flintof brought a swag like brand to England ...
Those cameramen are brave. I know they are tennis balls, but still, They did not even flinch, when he was smashing the balls towards them.
👍👍❤️❤️
Don't worry about feet movement if you are a giant guy like KP, Russell etc.
If you are not giant then both head and feet position matters like sachin , Kane williamson, virat etc
What about viru? He is the text book example of head to the ball with no feet movement.
@@Khader1093 Give me more examples other than viru possessing that level of success. Viru is unique bro who played all the formats in same style and achieved that level of success, is just unbelievable.
@@lohitdhungana9384 Steve Smith.
@@lohitdhungana9384 most volatile technique.
Actually no all the grt players get their head to the ball. U can try it too u will see grt improvement does not matter wt ur height is.
Abd, Vk, Rohit, dhawan, maxi when he plays well, root
💚😀
What is the anchor name?
KP I bet your excited that Brisbane was awarded the Olympics 😀😀😀
how will you play offside say square if you try to get your heed in line with the ball ?
Getting ur head in line with the ball is done only half way through the ball, once u pick the line n length and decide wt shot to play, ur body bcoz of practicing all those shots automaticly moves into good position to play ur choosen shot
Like say ball is outside off back of length, u start by getting in line with ur head then realize ball is outside off and u cant reach on the front foot, thus u rock back then make room to play cut shot or get close and play back foot punch
For all the shots the initial getting ur head to ball remains same
Another way is ur manipulate with opening ur wrists
@@sharan9993 great explanation .thanks Bro
Ironic that probably England’s best ever batsmen in terms of pure talent is not originally from England.
@ncfclee doesnt matter anyway , root will overtake him soon , probably already has in terms of stats
All time English favourite player
What English need is not coaching or tips but some South African batsmen😇
He’s a great bloke and easy to watch but still can’t resist the urge to name and ego drop. No wonder he was such a good mat of Warnie’s.
How to hit straight sixes
On his day he could take apart any attack with ease and win or save a game basically on his own. He was an idiot, but sometimes you've got to find a way as a team to fit these guys in and let them do their thing. The 2013/14 Ashes were not his fault and he unfairly shouldered the blame. England could have got a few more years and probably a couple more thousand test runs out of him. England and English fans were poorer for it.
Totally agree. For instance Ronaldo isn’t the easiest to captain but no one else can do what he does just like KP
totally agreed. even someone like Shane Warne was tough to handle during his playing days. we all know the famous steve waugh and warne rift. but Ricky found ways how to handle warne on and off-field along with the scandal which warne had off-field.
@@arjans7573 Ronaldo is pretty easy to captain I'd say. He's hard working and dedicated. Remember the Euro final where he captained from the sidelines when he got injured- he's a leader as well. I think a better comparison would be someone like Neymar who parties a lot etc.
Sky should do a Chris Martin batting masterclass.
I love Kevin's batting he could have been playing for England but????????.
Kiss the ball kiss the ball
Should have played for south africa
Well I did not even know that he was a bowler earlier
The voice of marnus and kp is same
The same country
Both South African
Where is he playing cricket nowadays? I thought he retired from all formats.
From India
Grant Rowley is a real good cricketer.
