It was the opening match of the inaugural IPL. People were skeptical about t20 cricket till then. There was lot at stake and inaugural IPL had to be a success. The world saw one of the greatest t20 innings of all time from the bat of McCullum. The wicket-keeper batsman hit 13 sixes and scored 158 not out of just 73 balls.

He then played for Kochi Tuskers before being bought by the CSK. It was the Super Kings where McCullum and Dwayne Smith started opening together and wreaked havoc on oppositions.

McCullum has a huge fan base in India. He is among the most loved cricketers in India. He even wrote a letter, requesting the Indian fans to support NZ in world cup final. The relationship between Indians and McCullum looks very strong.
