The destructive player from South Africa, who shifted base to England and played for the Three Lions in 134 matches, was one of the most destructive players when in full flow.
Over the years, he developed the switch hit, in which he would change his stance from a right-hander to a left-hander and continue to smash the bowlers all over the park with even more vigour.
Even though a controversy enveloped over his new-shot, Pietersen refused to let it affect his performances and ended his career with 4422 runs at an average of 41.32.
