Kevin Pietersen names the two best T20 bowlers ever ahead of new IPL season

Kevin Pietersen has hailed Sri Lanka legend Lasith Malinga and West Indies hero Sunil Narine as two of the best T20 bowlers of all time.

A panel of current and former cricketers were asked to name their T20 greats across five categories in an interview with Betway.

Former England star Pietersen chose Malinga as the greatest death bowler in history and Narine as the best T20 spinner, admitting he had ‘no idea’ how to play the West Indian.

Elsewhere, South Africa batter Rassie van der Dussen and Indian cricket commentator Aakash Chopra labelled Virat Kohli the greatest run-machine in T20 cricket, while West Indies legend Chris Gayle was described as the best six-hitter in the history of the white-ball game.

Consistent run-scorer

Rassie van der Dussen: ‘Virat Kohli just always seems to be making runs.  He has sort of a simple technique, a classic technique, which helps him in Test cricket. But he also has the power game.’

Aakash Chopra: ‘He actually changed the perception completely that 30 is the new 50 in T20 cricket because he was averaging 50 for a very long time.’

Six-hitter

Aakash Chopra: ‘In my opinion, no one comes close to Christopher Henry Gayle.’

Kevin Pietersen: ‘His pick-up over mid-on, just the flat-bat smack, it’s so dismissive.’

Lungi Ngigi: ‘Looking at him from the top of your run-up, it looks like he’s standing right next to you. One swing and it’s out of the stadium.’

Ian Bishop: ‘He changed and helped evolve the way T20 batting went and that’s why I see him as the GOAT of T20 batting.’

Spinner

Kevin Pietersen: ‘Sunil Narine because of his variations. I had no idea which way it was going.’

Aakash Chopra: ‘It’s like going to a foreign country and not understanding anything, you are completely at sea.
