England batsman Kevin Pietersen has transferred to Delhi Daredevils from Deccan Chargers for the 2012 season, the IPL has confirmed. Pietersen is the third player to switch teams during the transfer window, after Dinesh Karthik and R Sathish. "We are pleased to add Kevin to our line-up. He brings rich experience and a fiery quality to our batting and can be a more than handy off spinner as well," said TA Sekhar, GMR Sports' Head. "We are sure that Kevin will help us to be very spirited this season and the Delhi Daredevils fans will enjoy this addition."
Pietersen was earlier part of Royal Challengers Bangalore and had captained the team for a few games in 2009. He was acquired by Deccan Chargers during the 2011 player auctions but could not play as he was getting better from a double hernia. Pietersen, currently in the UAE for England's away series against Pakistan, said he was looking forward to the challenge of being part of a new setup.
"I am looking forward to a wonderful time with the Delhi Daredevils," Pietersen said. "It will be a great experience to be playing in the same squad as Sehwag." The first window for trading between IPL franchises closes on January 20. There will be another short window for trading after the February 4 auction in which the players of now concluded franchise Kochi Tuskers Kerala will be sold. The competition will run from April 4 to May 27, 2012.
