#2 Brendon McCullum
There are captains who remain content with just setting fields and ushering in bowling changes. Then there are true leaders who have the intrinsic ability to lift the team with their mere presence. Brendon McCullum belonged to the latter category. More of a statesman than just a skipper, he sparked a revolution in New Zealand cricket with his refreshingly attacking approach to the game.
Not the one to care about records, McCullum played the game because he was a natural sportsman. Although his belligerent batting could end in a kamikaze manner on certain occasions, the dynamic player changed the face of New Zealand of cricket by liberating the players from the general convention. Apart from leading his country to a maiden appearance in the final of a World Cup, McCullum also created a resilient Test team that held its own on different types of pitches.
