MUMBAI: The IPL is proving to be very lucrative for some players. Last night Kevin Pietersen joined Delhi Daredevils for a reported $2 million.

Pietersen made $1.5 million when he debited in the IPL for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2009. But when the auction was done last year, he joined the Deccan Chargers for $650,000.

Pietersen said, ?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."

Pietersen will earn all the money if he plays in the full competition.

GMR Sports head cricket TA Sekar said: "Kevin?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 a 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."
