However, he had a disappointing end to his career as the England Cricket Board banned him from T20s after his retirement in ODIs. Despite that, in India, Pietersen has always enjoyed a great fanbase, love, and affection. Now, a picture has gone viral where Kevin Pietersen was seen meeting India’s home minister Amit Shah.

Here is the shared image:

Speaking of the image, Pietersen recently visited the office of Amit Shah and posted about it on his social media. On Instagram, he shared the images and wrote: "Thank you for the most wonderful welcoming this morning, Mr @amitshahofficial. An absolute pleasure spending time with you. Kind, caring, and inspirational! Thank you!" However, this visit took place due to a not of Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself. He invited the former England batter to visit Amit Shah’s office. 

Kevin Pietersen received that letter on 26 January where Modi claimed that he would hope that the cricketer will look to engage with India and its people. In reply to that, Pietersen wrote: "Ever since stepping foot in India in 2003, I’ve grown more in love with your country on every visit. I was recently asked, ‘what do you most like about India’ & my answer was easy - THE PEOPLE. Happy Republic Day to all Indians for a couple of days ago. A proud country & a powerhouse globally! I look forward to meeting you in person soon, to thank you for how India is a global leader in protecting its wildlife! My best wishes!"
