Kevin Pietersen was a player who defined his generation - Harsha Bhogle

Finally somebody gives KP the respect he deserves

[saurabhvemuri]

Two fantastic innings of K.P
1) 186 against India at Mumbai, 2012
2) 227 against Australia at Adelaide, 2010
These two knocks turned the series on its head.

By far the best English batsman to play the sport. Was flamboyant in every format and a big match winner. I just miss seeing him on the field 😢.

[TheDark-Knut]

Whatta shame that his career was so short lived! Absolute legend! Love from india KP!

[Prabhakaran-tdgd]

Harsha is the Morgan Freeman of cricket

[arunme]

As good a cricketer KP was Harsha Bhogle is an equally good analyst and narrator

[David-jjwc]

Cricket needs characters like Pietersen...could you imagine if everyone was like Allistair Cook? A maverick no doubt but no-one could deny his natural ability. England is yet to find someone to replace him.

[kulkarnisingh]

He was one of the most ferocious batsmen I have ever seen

[Pranav-pvnh]

I just remember him for the way he announced himself at the big stage. 21-5, McGrath running riot, In he comes, and conquers!!

[hirenpatel]

Probably the most stylish, alligant and attacking batsman in the world ...
Best batsman that England could have in decades....
Cook has the record for most test runs & centuries for England but I'm damm sure that if KP's still playing for England, he would have more runs and centuries than cook...
👌👌👌👌👌

[Pranav-pvnh]

Harsha bhogle was the one who defined our generation of commentators!

[saikatify]

Who else watches these videos so that they can learn to talk as beautifully as Harsha Bhogle ?

[Parsuadhikari]

One of those finest batsmen of this generations. His stats are certainly at lower level than what he’s actually made of. He threw away wicket searching for quick runs.

[RandomAccessMemory]

Sehwag and Pietersen were players one of those few players who had tge ability to score runs in tests quickly

[ashutoshdas]

My favourite player is Kp....and then I would keep MSD at 2nd position....miss u Kp...I know u are retiring

[gentnextdoor]

KP got me watching cricket.. head and shoulders above any England batsman of his generation and right up there with Ricky Ponting and Jayawardene and that group. The aura and presence he had at the crease was electric. I dont care what all you haters think!

[hirenpatel]

And Harsha bhogle is the best analyst & commentator in the world (definitely from India ) by the way...

[rohitsonone]

You know who's marvellous, Harsha you are.I don't know how you do that Harsha but when you speak i want to hear it and hear it and hear it.

[Abdulaziz-nvfd]

Finally spoke about the great that KP is😭❤️

[chrisbenedict]

Harsha Sir you are the best story teller in the world. I don’t think I would have loved and watched cricket if you would have not broadcasted games like you always do. More power to you sir.
