Brendon McCullum bid the world goodbye in style

If the resurgence of New Zealand since 2014 as a top quality side can be credited to one player, it would be Brendon McCullum. His smash mouth, no holds barred approach to the game transformed New Zealand into a side that could more than just compete in both Tests and ODIs.

The year 2014 was a watershed for him, he scored 1164 runs at an average of 72.75, and all of his 4 centuries in that year were scores of more than 190. He also hit 33 out of his 107 career sixes in that year. His form dipped from then until his retirement, but he ensured that he retired with a bang.

In his last Test match vs Australia at Christchurch in 2016, McCullum belted the fastest Test century of all time (54 balls) and collected 120 runs exclusively in boundaries out of his final score of 145. Quite a way to bid adieu.
