the most expensive player of IPL and English batsman Kevin Petersen has confessed he is not good at playing the hugely popular Twenty20 format but vowed to make amends during the world championships beginning this week.
"I'm not very good at T-20 cricket,am I?" Pietersen said on the eve of the world T20 championships in England.
"The more you play T20 cricket the better you become and i haven't played a lot of it and i'm not good at it,"he has quoted as saying by The Mirror.
KP,who was not part of the inaugural edition of IPL played only 6 matches in IPL 2 in South Africa and he has made just one T20 50 for England Averaging 26.
KP disclosed he had developed new therories to suit his batting to the quickest format of the game.
"The more I play it though the more i'll catch up with my records in test and one day cricket definetly. i just know that i'll get much better at it. I've worked out some new theories about my batting in T20 and that will make a difference,hopefully starting this week" he said.
The 28 yr old Ex England Captain who failed to impress Royal Challengers Captain in IPL 2,said he loved the experience.
"I'm made great captain didnt I",Pietersen said in lighter vein.
"we won two out of six when i was there and Anil Kumble took over and they got to the final.
people are going to take photo shots at me over the IPL and the money earned in two weeks,but it was such a great experience.I loved it he said.
He sought to explain the reason behind gaffes like not knowing of his RCB team menbers even at time of toss in IPL.
"To captain the side four days after arraving and not knowing what some of the guys did and not knowing most of their names made it a huge task for me.I wasn't as focused on my batting as I was trying to learn guys names and what they did," he said.
It was less than 2 yrs ago that KP called T20 a SILLY game with Silly shots' but now he admits his attitude to the game has since changed.
