Brendon McCullum:
Best known for his blistering 158-run knock in the first-ever IPL match in 2008, the former New Zealand skipper also holds the distinction of playing in every season of the IPL. He was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2008 where he remained for three seasons before making a switch to Kochi Tuskers Kerela. In the following season, he re-joined the Kolkata-based franchise and played an important role in their victorious campaign. In 2013, he was bought by Chennai Super Kings. He remained with the MS Dhoni-led side for a couple of seasons. Ahead of the 2016 season, he was signed by Gujarat Lions.
The explosive batsman has scored 2434 runs in 92 matches so far.
