Quiz! Name every Test teammate of Kevin Pietersen

Born on June 27, 1980, in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, Kevin Pietersen – one of England’s greatest batters – qualified to play for the Three Lions through his English mother. His debut year in Test cricket coincided with the iconic 2005 Ashes, widely considered the greatest Ashes series of all time, where he emerged as the leading run-scorer with 473 runs at an average of 52.55.

Pietersen charging fast bowlers to flick the ball through midwicket remains an indelible image for cricket fans. During his England career (2004–2014), he briefly captained the side and was named Player of the Series in their maiden men's ICC trophy triumph, the 2010 T20 World Cup.

Despite his laurels for England, Pietersen has been a controversial figure in English cricket due to his strained relationship with the national board and disagreements with team management. The boiling point of that was the 2012 'Text-gate' scandal, where he was accused of sending messages against to South African players about then-England captain Andre Strauss. His outspoken nature mirrored the carefree audacity of his batting. Yet, he remains England’s third-highest run-scorer across formats.
