6 Batsmen who have scored a century for two IPL franchises

#4 Brendon McCullum - Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings

Brendon McCullum's 158 lit the Indian Premier League

In the first ever match of the IPL, the New Zealand wicket-keeper etched his names into the history books by blowing away RCB's bowling attack. McCullum bossed the bowlers by sending 13 deliveries out of the ground beside his 10 fours. McCullum’s 158* (73) helped the Knight Riders squash their opponents by a huge margin of 140 runs.

The former New Zealand skipper joined MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings and formed a formidable opening pair with Dwayne Smith. He played a memorable innings against the Sunrisers Hyderabad when he scored his 2nd IPL century, adding 100 runs to the team’s total in just 56 balls.

Chennai Super Kings won the match by 45 runs, but their ouster from the league in the next season led to McCullum’s move to the Gujarat Lions. After playing for GL for 2 seasons, RCB signed the NZ batsman for the 2018 season.

Brendon is the only New Zealand player to have scored an IPL century for 2 franchises.
