10 most stylish batsmen in IPL 2016

7) Brendon McCullum

McCullum scored 354 runs at 22 with a strike-rate of 135. That was not a great season but he was one of the reasons why the Gujarat Lions was the team to beat in the league stage. His loss of form in the latter half probably overlapped with the Lions’ loss of fizz towards the end.

Nevertheless, McCullum, who is known for his swashbuckling style of play is also one of the most elegant players to watch. The New Zealander hits them beautifully, with lovely arches, great bat swing and great back-lift. He doesn’t look like he is over-hitting anything. Brendon is also one of those rare players like AB de Villiers who is as pretty to watch on the field as he is with the bat.
