In his autobiography 'KP', Pietersen refers to an e-mail the Indian batting legend wrote to him about playing spinners. "Rahul was a great and heroic Indian batsman in his day.

He is also a genius at dealing with spin bowlers. Our conversations and emails were a private masterclass from a genuine guru," Pietersen writes in the book.

"Rahul improved my cricket and helped me develop the way I think about the game. His generosity will stay with me always."
