Kevin Pietersen said that his stint with the DC as a mentor has excited him, as he is finding real joy in working closely with players and spending time inside the dressing room.
Pietersen was quoted as saying by The Telegraph, “Life is good. I absolutely love it. I love working with the players and I love spending time in the dressing room.”
The Delhi Capitals’ mentor also shared his thoughts on Harry Brook’s decision to pull out of the ongoing IPL 2025 at the last minute for personal reasons, resulting in his being banned for two seasons. Later, Harry was named the white-ball captain of the England National Cricket Team.

Their aggressive, six-hitting approach, much like England’s, hasn’t been working in the ongoing IPL 2025, and Pietersen explained the reason behind the same. He said, “Sunrisers probably play very similar to England, where they’re just trying to hit a six every single ball. With other teams—yes, absolutely, there is that intent. But you’ve got to be smart.”
Pietersen signed off by saying, “You have to have cricket smarts. So, understanding wickets, understanding opposition, and playing in a certain way—all of these things blend into an all-around team. You cannot be one-dimensional. Being one-dimensional, you’re going to lose.”
