Underscoring the need for a robust defense, England batting great Kevin Pietersen has said his relentless defensive drills at the nets was the mantra to his success during the triumphant 2012-13 tour of India. Pietersen's 186 off 233 balls, in the second Test in Mumbai, is seen as one of the best performances by a foreign batter on a tour of India. The knock helped reverse the momentum after England were well beaten in the first Test, setting the tourists on the way to their first series win in India in 27 years. India have not lost a series at home since then.
