5 Best Test Knocks of the Last Decade
4.)Kevin Pietersen – 186 v/s India, Wankhede 2012
Rarely has it happened that some foreign player has dominated Indians on a turning track. We knew that Pietersenn had the prowess of batting efficiently against spin when he smashed Shane Warne to all parts in the inaugural test of Ashes 2005. Pietersen was at his absolute best on a dust bowl in Wankhede that day. Although Alastair Cook and Pujara also scored a hundred, but they struggled big time. KP cruised through to his century at a strike rate of 80, creaming the spinners and pacers alike for boundaries.
Pietersen hit Ojha for a six over mid-on to reach his hundred after which everyone in the ground stood up. They had witnessed a Pietersen special which helped England to win the second test.
