"This was one of the best shots I played in my career. I was in & SL were bowling to a 7/2 off side field and hanging the ball outside offside. True to form, I got a bit impatient and wanted to score...so there she goes! #flamingo," Pietersen captioned the video.
Siddhanth Kapoor reacted to Pietersen's post and said that he still prefers Pietersen's trademark reverse sweeps while labelling the England batsman as a "trendsetter".
