Kevin Pietersen is another celebrity like Sachin Tendulkar who will swish and play for publicity, making money and earning glory for himself, without facilitating the team to win in crucial matches. But unlike Tendulkar, Pietersen has also been a social bully on the field. Additionally, Root and Ballance are better batsmen who do not create the hoopla of Pietersen. Furthermore, Pietersen is becoming old and is well past his prime.
