The greatest T20 XI of all-time

#2 Brendon McCullum

Brendon McCullum is the 2nd highest run-getter in the format.

The 2nd opener in our side is none other than the Kiwi great, Brendon McCullum. McCullum is much often remembered for his heroics in the shortest format of the game and especially for the knock that in a true sense launched the IPL. With a 158 not out against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first ever match of the tournament gave a trailer of things to expect from the tournament. After initial 3 seasons with Kolkata Knight Riders, McCullum again returned to the franchise in 2012 and was a part of the team which won the title.

McCullum became the 1st batsman to score a 1000 runs in T20 Internationals and to score 2 hundred in the format at the international level. Overall in t20s, he has more than 9500 runs to his name, second only to the great Chris Gayle.
