Kevin Pietersen’s miserable stint in the Indian Premier League continued as he was clean bowled attempting a switch hit and his Bangalore Royal Challengers slumped to a six-wicket defeat against the Delhi Daredevils.

Pietersen, along with the now-injured Andrew Flintoff, was the most expensive player in the second edition of the live ipl cricket match but he has struggled for runs throughout and has now captained his side to four consecutive defeats.

There was even worse news for fellow England players Owais Shah and Paul Collingwood who were again left out of the victorious Delhi side.

Things started rather better for Pietersen than they have in recent matches, winning the toss on a batsman-friendly Port Elizabeth track and finding some good early form at the top of the order.
