LONDON: Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has heaped praise on India legend Rahul Dravid for helping him play spin better.
Pietersen, who played with Dravid for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL for two years – 2009 and 2010, said that that former Indian captain’s advice on how to play spin opened up a “whole new world” for him.
”Dravid wrote me the most beautiful email, explaining the art of playing spin and ever since then it was a whole new world. The key point was looking for the length as soon as the ball was delivered – wait for the spinner and make your decision,” Pietersen said on Sky Sports.
The former batting star played for England, from 2004 to 2014, and scored 8181 runs from 104 Tests at an average of 47.28 while in 136 ODIs, he amassed 4440 at an average of 40.73. (AGENCIES)
