Kevin Pietersen never hesitates in entertaining his fans on social media with different types of unique and innovative strategies. Pietersen had earlier photoshopped himself in two images which were related to Bollywood movie songs. In the first instance, a morphed image of KP shaking a leg with Madhuri Dixit and Aishwariya Rai Bachchan in 'Dhola Re' from the movie Devdas left one in all in splits. Things did not end there as KP's morphed image made yet another appearance in another song named 'Disco Deewane' from the movie Student Of The Year which had Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra in the lead roles. In this image, a tremendous amount of creativity was used as Varun Dhawan was replaced by Kevin Pietersen. This time, the former England skipper decided to take his creativity to the next level on the field as KP decided to enjoy the game of cricket in a unique way.

In one of the attempts, KP also performs a switch hit which connects well with his bat and goes for a six. The video of Kevin Pietersen's blindfold cricket was posted by him on Instagram.
