Kevin Pietersen is back!
The ex-England batting supremo is back for another stint with Surrey in the NatWest T20 Blast, his first game coming on Wednesday against Essex before he then lines up in front of the Sky cameras for Friday's clash against Middlesex - live on Sky Sports Cricket from 6pm.
Bar a solitary game in 2015, Pietersen last starred for Surrey in the Blast three years ago. Here's a look at how he got on then and as a global T20 gun for hire since...
2014 NatWest T20 Blast (Surrey)
Innings: 12
Runs: 225
Average: 22.50
Strike-rate: 107.14
Highest Score: 39
Pietersen will be hoping for bigger and better Blast results than he managed back in 2014, where in 12 innings he didn't notch a single half century and his top score was just 39. However, he did give glimpses into his undeniable talents during that spell, like in his innings of 29 which helped see Surrey past Worcestershire in the quarter-final - watch some of his sumptuous ball-striking in that knock in the video above.
Bar a solitary six in the semi-final, KP couldn't quite repeat the dose and managed only 13 runs of 16 balls as Surrey succumbed to the eventual winners, Birmingham Bears, at Edgbaston.
2015 Caribbean Premier League (St Lucia Zouks)
Innings: 10
Runs: 295
Average: 32.77
Strike-rate: 137.20
Fifties: 2
Highest Score: 83no
A 'zouk', if you didn't know, is a carnival beat with a rapid tempo - and, speaking of rapid tempos, that's exactly what Pietersen produced when biffing 83 not out off 57 deliveries against Jamaica Tallawahs in Kingston. KP's pyrotechnics could not fire the Zouks to victory on that occasion, though, as Chadwick Walton (76 from 48) and a certain Chris Gayle (64no off 42) ran amok. Pietersen's 39-ball 73 versus Barbados Tridents a game earlier, in which he smoked seven fours and five sixes, did propel his side to a win.
They were the two lone bright spots of an otherwise disappointing tournament, both personally, and for the team, as St Lucia registered only four victories from 10 games and were dumped out in the group stages for the third straight year.
2015-17 CSA T20 Challenge (Sunfoil Dolphins)
Innings: 12
Runs: 599
Hundreds: 2
Fifties: 4
Highest Score: 115no
Pietersen followed those back-to-back fifties in the Caribbean with successive centuries in South Africa as he played a starring role for his home state Sunfoil Dolphins of Natal. KP smashed 10 sixes into the Kingsmead crowd in his 115 off 66 balls against Lions, before nailing seven more in a score of exactly 100 from 45 deliveries versus Knights. Pietersen followed that up with consecutive half centuries, although he was less effective when he returned for his side's last two games - scoring 27 in the semi-final before hitting 10 in the final as Dolphins lost to The Unlimited Titans.
Pietersen's second stint a year later was shorter, and not quite so sweet. While 198 runs and a top score of 81 from his five innings represents a reasonable return, the Dolphins were well out of the running for a return to the final, winning only three games out of 10.
2014-17 Big Bash League (Melbourne Stars)
Innings: 25
Runs: 884
Average: 40.18
Strike-rate: 135.79
Fifties: 9
Highest Score: 76
The greatest sustained success Pietersen has enjoyed in the T20 format has come in Australia - his three years with the quite literally 'star'-studded Melbourne franchise, yet the team has still yet to win their first BBL title despite being semi-finalists in every season.
KP played an important part as the Stars finally broke their semi-final curse in 2016 - the team's top run-scorer for the tournament, cracking fifty in nearly half of his innings. That included 62 from 36 balls in the semi-final win over Perth Scorchers, but another half century in the final (74 off 39), could not secure the Stars the title they so desperately covet. Usman Khawaja - in sensational form that summer - hit 70 from 40 balls, helping Sydney Thunder to a three-wicket win, successfully chasing down 177.
2016-17 Pakistan Super League (Quetta Gladiators)
Innings: 17
Runs: 456
Average: 30.40
Strike-rate: 140.74
Fifties: 3
Highest Score: 88no
Pietersen wasn't quite the powerhouse Pakistan fans expected for his nine matches with the Quetta Gladiators in the inaugural season of the PSL. He struck only one fifty in nine innings, although he did at least save that for a low-scoring semi-final against Peshawar Zalmi, when his 53 off 38 balls proved crucial in a one-run win. The final was a less successful affair, however, with KP managing only a run-a-ball 18 in a six-wicket defeat to Islamabad United - Dwayne Smith (73 off 51) and Brad Haddin (61no off 39) putting on an ultimately match-winning 85 for the second wicket.
KP fared little better in his second stint, registering three ducks in his first five bats for the Gladiators, though in among those was his best score to date, an unbeaten 88 blasted off 42 balls - with three fours and eight sixes - in a win over Lahore Qalandars, who earlier had England's Jason Roy smash a 27-ball 51 for them. Pietersen also once again lifted the team into the final with his 40 from 22 balls in the semis, but was one of several players to opt out of the final for security concerns as it returned to Pakistan, instead of being staged in the UAE, and Quetta once again came up short.
2009-16 Indian Premier League
Innings: 36
Runs: 1001
Average: 37.07
Strike-rate: 134.72
Hundreds: 1
Fifties: 4
Highest Score: 103no
Since making his IPL debut in 2009, Pietersen he enjoyed a further four seasons in the biggest domestic T20 tournament in the world, playing for three different franchises over that period - Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Daredevils and Rising Pune Supergiants.
His best years were his last in Bangalore, in 2010, and his first in Delhi, in 2012, where he averaged one run below and one run above 60 respectively. His Daredevils spell also saw him score his maiden IPL century - a magnificent 103 not out off 64 deliveries, featuring as many as six fours and nine sixes! In KP's two more recent stints, however, in 2014 and 2016, he has managed only one half century in 15 innings.
