Dubai: Former England captain Kevin Pietersen will move from Deccan Chargers to Delhi Daredevils for the 2012 season of the Indian Premier League.
T.A. Sekar, the GMR Sports Head (Cricket), said: "Pietersen's addition would strengthen the Delhi Daredevils squad this season. We are pleased to add Kevin to our line-up. He brings rich experience and an explosive quality to our batting and can be a more than handy off-spinner as well.
"We are sure that Kevin will help us to be very competitive this season and the Delhi Daredevils fans will enjoy this addition."
In a statement, Pietersen, who is in Dubai, said he was excited at the prospect of joining a team that includes the likes of skipper Virender Sehwag and David Warner, the hardhitting Australian opener.
"I am looking forward to a wonderful time with the Delhi Daredevils. It will be a great experience to be playing in the same squad as Sehwag," he said.
Pietersen was acquired by the Deccan Chargers in the 2011 IPL auction but could not participate in IPL IV due to a surgery.
