Batting These Days Is Way Easier Than 20-25 Years Ago: Kevin Pietersen

By IANS News July 26, 2025 • 15:26 PM View: 787

Kevin Pietersen: Former England batter Kevin Pietersen has sparked a new debate after stating that batting these days is way easier than it was 20-25 years ago, questioning the quality of modern-day bowlers.

Pietersen shared his thoughts on social media a day after fellow England batter Joe Root surpassed Australian legend Ricky Ponting to move into second place on the all-time list of Test run-scorers.

Pietersen, who represented England in 104 Tests, 136 ODIs, and 37 T20Is between 2005 and 2013, remarked that batting was "twice as hard" back then.
