#10 Kevin Pietersen
Kevin Pietersen polarises opinion like very few others in the game. A flamboyant stroke player, he has been an architect of many English victories over the years. His dominating personality on the field can crush bowlers to pieces when he is on song.
‘KP’, as he his fondly called, played 90 Tests at number four and managed to score 6490 runs at an average of 48.43 with 19 centuries to his name in this position. Though his international career is on hold at present, he has managed to carve a niche for himself already in the games he has played.
