There’s no doubt that the brand of cricket which the modern-day teams like England play today is something which the likes of Brendon McCullum had initiated back in his playing days. If one has to describe McCullum’s batting in a nutshell then the word ‘thrill’ might be the right fit. By making his debut back in 2002, McCullum has featured in aggregate of 4 World Cups (2003, 2007, 2011, 2015).

The 2007 and 2011 World Cup editions were nothing but the same story for New Zealand as on both the occasions, after reaching the semi-finals they were beaten by the Sri Lankans. However, in later part of the 2000s when T20 cricket had just started taking its baby steps, the likes of McCullum and Chris Gayle can be regarded as its greatest envoys.

McCullum’s best was unveiled when he transitioned as a full-time opener and when his captaincy stint began, he took New Zealand to its first World Cup final in 2015 but had to face misery from the Australians.
