Kevin Pietersen to get $4 million contract to play in the IPL?

According to latest reports in the media circle, the most prolific ODI all-rounder Kevin Pietersen is all set to join the IPL next year. He reportedly got an offer of US$4 million for a three-year contract. Although the franchise's name was not disclosed, it is believed that Mukesh Ambani's Mumbai Indians team has made that lucrative offer.

Currently, Dhoni is the highest paid player in the IPL with $1.5 million. If Pietersen gets $4 million, he will be the highest paid player in the IPL. The UK media reports suggest that ECB has already given permission to Pietersen to play in the IPL.
