Englishman may take over the reins from Rahul Dravid for a brief period
Former England skipper Kevin Pietersen could lead the Bangalore Royal Challengers in the second edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after he was sounded out by the team's coach Ray Jennings.
The Royal Challengers finished second from bottom in the inaugural edition of the IPL under current skipper Rahul Dravid and owner Vijay Mallya, in a bid to make his team more competitive, roped in Pietersen for a whopping USD 1.55 million in the players' auction held in Goa on February 6.
