This is where the love of the game will be admired. Here the sports play their part in bringing people closer. This is one aspect of the game where you tend to forget whether you are an Indian, Pakistani or an Aussie fan. It only remains as the matter of likeability, the matter of praise of someone’s ability as a player. Kevin Pietersen is the player who can spark an interest and anticipation when he comes to bat with intent. He is the one who attracts all the gloss and glamour along with colossal all-rounder Flintoff.
The man looks good on eyes because his always positive attitude makes him attractive and imaginative. He hardly sets any boundaries for himself. If he is batting on 100 he can play a cheeky reverse sweep which does not necessarily comes off or looks very elegant but regardless of how it looks, he likes to amass runs no matter how they come.
The thing which amazes everyone is the consistency in his run making streak. The World Cup was not over when he was preparing for West Indies to arrive. Players all round the globe are making themselves unavailable after mega-event; some for personal reasons, some for playing other cricket than international cricket and some for getting leisure after a tiresome World Cup, but KP hardly muttered a word about his craving for the game as if he does not want to let this golden period go by when his bat is pouring runs against each and every opposition in 50 over game or in Test cricket.
His knock of a well carved out hundred in the first Test which raised all hopes of a result for England and then 226 in the second Test has definitely put him in the bracket which is slotted for the players who stay in the news due to their performances. KP is just doing that. Stirring the cricket world with his exhilarating hunger for runs and fulfilling that hunger with enormous ease and pleasure.
The way he is moving is quite similar to the way when Sehwag moved in his Test career in the beginning and then things took ugly turn for unknown reasons which has been bothering Veeru since then. Hundreds filled with excruciating stroke making and in the next Test triple hundred filled with composure and concentration, remorsefully Veeru lost it somewhere. Hopefully, KP will not throw it away like that. But he is definitely going upwards at the moment and entertaining everyone regardless of who watches him bat. He is providing them a show which everyone wants to keep beholding. Let’s see how long he can keep running it, we wish he keeps running it because it’s a fun.
