#2 Brendon McCullum
Baz was the one who created a magic in the very first of the IPL back in 2008 when he played for the Kolkata Knight Riders scoring a brilliant 158 to set the tone for the phenomenon called the Indian Premier League. So, it is only fitting that he goes back to the same franchise this year.
KKR too are in need of an opener at the top to support Chris Lynn and what better player than Brendon to do so. Hence, with 5 foreign slots available KKR could well buy him from the auction and we could see McCullum turn out in purple again.
He has had a consistent run in the IPL and this T20 legend has been a good form of late playing for different franchises around the world. His addition to the squad would make KKR look more formidable than it is now.
