Kevin Pietersen's Stunning Reply As Gautam Gambhir Calls Him "Worse Than Any Leader"

Kevin Pietersen, one of the finest players to have played for England, isn't someone who gets many points as a leader by former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir.

As Gambhir's comments took social media by storm, even Pietersen came across the verdict from the Kolkata Knight Riders mentor. To the surprise of many, the retired England batter took the comment rather sportingly.

Virat Kohli Re-Writes Record Books With Stunning Will Jacks Partnership Against GT

What was supposed to be a challenging run-chase of 201 runs against Gujarat Titans (GT) for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) turned into a child's play within a matter of few overs as Virat Kohli and Will Jacks made a mockery of 2022 champions' spin trio of Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmed, Sai Kishore and pacer Mohit Sharma with their incredible six-hitting.
