10 current cricketers who could go on to become good commentators

#1 Kevin Pietersen

Kevin Pietersen

While his autobiography continues to wreck havoc even as I write this, Kevin Pietersen, the king of controversy, putting it mildly, would easily wow audiences with the sheer chutzpah he exudes every time the spotlight is on him.

The former England captain, who can quip one-liners with the same nonchalance as some of his switch-hits, will have no hesitation in calling a spade a spade, and could develop into a more boisterous version of the ever-popular Ravi Shastri (hopefully, minus the clichés).

Wonder if he would attempt to avenge the kind words his ‘good friend’ Andrew Strauss bestowed on him while himself undertaking commentating duties – knowing him, he probably would, and will not exactly sugarcoat his feelings.

The only question would be – how long before he gets banned for making one controversial remark too many?
