Brendon McCullum was among the most exciting batsmen to watch

Playing the majority of his Test innings at No. 5 and 7, Brendon McCullum was a nightmare for the bowlers, especially the quicker ones. He could destroy bowling attacks like few other batsmen could.

The former Kiwi captain holds the record for the fastest hundred in Tests - scored off just 54 deliveries. He also has the record for the most sixes hit in the longest format of the game - 107.

Such was his style of play that McCullum didn't worry whether the match at hand was an ODI, Test, or T20. Fielders and boundaries were immaterial to him when he was at the crease.

In fact, under his leadership, the typically sedate New Zealand team played an aggressive brand of cricket which was much appreciated by viewers and experts around the world.
