English batsman Kevin Pietersen on Tuesday said he admires watching Virender Sehwag and Chris Gayle bat as they are the two batsmen, who can alone change the course of any game. Talking about his choice of game changers, Pietersen said: "There are few players who I look up to as game changers. Indian opener Virender Sehwag is one of them.""When he takes the field as an opponent you know that in the next 10-15 overs of a Test match or an ODI, the man is skilled of turning the game around."
"The other guy who impresses me to the core is West Indian opener Chris Gayle. He does a similar job as Sehwag.""These are the two guys I love to watch and play against."Pietersen, who was the first cricketer to use the modern cricketing shot "switch-hit" in 2008, said he always wants to enjoy the game and make it more interesting for the viewers. He said: "Over the years Cricket has evolved to a great extent and I am just being part of the evolution."
"Inventing new things keeps the fun alive not only for the players but for the fans as well.""With today's stiff contest, surprising your opponent with unexpected actions comes in very handy.""I spend hours and hours in the nets, practicing switch hit, trying to perfect it. I have perfected it a couple of times in the game. But yes, it's something new, something fresh. It's a game changing shot."
