Key player
After using their ‘right to match’ card to bring Pietersen back to Delhi, the team clearly see the recently axed England batsman as a key member of their squad.
The 33-year-old certainly has form when it comes to t20 cricket and has previously impressed in the IPL with batting averages of 59 and 61 in 2010 and 2012 respectively.
Pietersen didn’t feature at all last year due to a knee injury and the absence of the big hitter was attributed as to why the Daredevils struggled so badly.
