Head coach Duncan Fletcher is a strong advocate of the stroke and Pietersen also reckons it is a worthwhile weapon against spinners.

Ahead of tomorrow’s second clash in Faridabad, Pietersen added: “I know we needed only three runs an over to win the game at that stage but that was probably the first full toss in international cricket I’ve hit to the man on the boundary.

Plunkett and partner visit Taj Mahal “I do like to slog-sweep spinners, it’s one of my favourite shots.

But, because we lost seven wickets in quick succession, the shot I played has become a massive problem.
