KP most missed foreign player

Prolific England batsman Kevin Pietersen is the most missed overseas cricketer in IPL VI), according to a poll conducted by Nike. Of the total 3096 votes, Pietersen has garnered a staggering figure of 2208 for a percentage of 71.32, which is miles ahead of the next best player, maverick Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi, who has got 369 votes with 11.92 percentage. The middle-order batsman was to play for the Delhi Daredevils franchise in IPL 6 but a knee injury ruled him out even before the start of the cash-rich T20 extravaganza. Pietersen had a fruitful season with the Daredevils last season and was expected to play a vital role this time around too. His recovery is taking longer than expected. Pakistan’s off-spinner Saeed Ajmal is third on the list with 198 votes for a percentage of 6.40. He is followed by South Africa’s Hashim Amla and burly New Zealander Jesse Ryder who had recently suffered multiple injuries after being assaulted out a bar in Christchurch.
