IPL 2017: 5 foreign players who have played in every season of the IPL so far

4.Brendon McCullum

The former New Zealand skipper will always be credited to giving the IPL the blistering start that it needed, smashing 158 while playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders, in the first ever match of the League.

After spending three fruitless seasons with the franchise, he moved to the newly-formed Kochi Tuskers Kerala where he made 357 runs in 13 matches at a strike-rate of 129. In 2012, he was back with the Knight Riders and was part of the side's first-ever IPL triumph before being bought by the Chennai Super Kings in 2013.

After two seasons with the MS Dhoni-led side, he moved to the Gujarat Lions squad, prior to the 2016 season and made 354 runs in 16 matches last year. In his overall IPL career, McCullum has made 2434 runs in 92 matches at a strike-rate of 129.
