The controversial England batsman Kevin Pietersen was snapped by the MS Dhoni-led Rising Pune Supergiants in this year’s auction. Pune played the inaugural match of the tournament against the Mumbai Indians and Kevin Pietersen showed his immense respect for the captain with a quote that has become iconic.

When the commentators asked KP, “How does it feel to be in a team that has lot of captains?” KP stole the show with his answer.

“There is only one captain. He is wearing gloves and purple pads.”

The Pune team consists of players like Steve Smith and Faf du Plessis who are the respective leaders of the Australia and the South Africa side. So in a team which has a lot captains, KP’s answer surely made sure who is the boss.

It is none other than MS Dhoni.
