#3 Brendon McCullum’s 158

In the very first IPL match, Brendon McCullum set the cricketing world ablaze. After being put into to bat first by Royal Challengers Bangalore, it was evident that Brendon McCullum was a man on a mission.

Right from ball one, he went ballistic against all the bowlers scoring an unbeaten 158 - an innings that included 10 fours and 13 sixes. His batting helped Kolkata Knight Riders reach a huge total of 222/3 in 20 overs.

RCB didn’t put up much of a fight as they were bowled out for just 82 runs. This was one of the finest knocks in T20 cricket and will be remembered for years to come.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
