Quotes

Kevin Pietersen

Former English cricketer and current commentator

“People often ask why I seem so 'pro' India. Answer is simple: In over 20 years and dozens of trips, I have NEVER once faced disrespect, negativity, backstabbing or bad energy there. Not once! Only love, kindness, loyalty, warmth and respect -- every single time.”

“I've made lifelong friendships there that I treasure. Friends who became family. Brothers for life. I know respect has to be earned -- and I like to think I earned mine by producing the goods on the cricket field year after year, giving my everything! Whether it was against India or for an IPL team.”
