Sanju Samson plays the short ball extremely well: Kevin Pietersen dismisses concerns over the short-pitched deliveries
Pietersen signed off by saying, “If he keeps doing it over the next six weeks or he does it over the next couple of months, then I'd probably have a look at it and start to question his technique.

So, from that standpoint, there's no way that I'm going to stand here and critique his play of the short ball.”
