5. Brendon McCullum

A complete freak of a batsman on his day, Brendon McCullum has played plenty of unforgettable innings with the bat. He also owns a lot of power for someone who is not very tall and his reputation has grown across the whole world.

even in his last Test, McCullum smashed the fastest century in the history of world cricket, which is still a record yet to be broken. He will go down as one of the hardest hitters in the game and it has been an opportunity to watch a player such as him feature for so long.
