Probably the best wicket-keeper batsman New Zealand has ever produced, McCullum has been one of the greatest batsmen to play the IPL. Well, no one will ever forget his 158 in the inaugural game against RCB. Since then, he has been a part of many franchises. Even for CSK, he has scored a century in the IPL. 

With the experience of 101 Test matches, he has scored 6453 runs. In ODIs, McCullum has played 260 matches and has scored 6083 runs. He was also instrumental in creating a fearless Kiwi squad during mid-2015. He captained the New Zealand squad that went on to reach the final of the 2015 World Cup. But, unfortunately, his team lost in the final. 

But, the legendary Kiwi player has taken the role of coaching the Knight Riders. Although he has not been quite successful, he has to remain with the team as they are entering the transition phase. With the mega auction coming up next year, it is important for the KKR franchise that McCullum chooses the best team combination. For his coaching services, McCullum receives a salary of 3.4 crores.
