Was nice to play a small role in helping the popularity of IPL grow, says Brendon McCullum about his blistering 158* in IPL's first match

Indian Premier League (IPL) got off to a blistering start when Brendon McCullum blasted an unbeaten 158 off 73 balls for Kolkata Knight Riders to set the tone for the league to change the cricketing world forever. Cut to now, McCullum, the head coach of Kolkata, went down memory lane with chief mentor David Hussey in a video on the league's official website, recalling events which led from his circumspect start making way for a breath-taking one-man onslaught over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the inaugural match of IPL. "Look I don't have too many memories, to be honest. It's a bit blurry but I remember getting the opportunity to bat with you, Sourav and Ricky throughout that innings. I remember being on zero off eight balls to start. My mind was ticking by thinking, 'really made a big embarrassment of myself here'.

IPL 2022: Captaincy comes naturally to Shreyas Iyer, says Ravi Shastri

Ravi Shastri feels captaincy comes naturally to Shreyas Iyer, who has impressed in his first season as Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) captain in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Shreyas was given the responsibility of leading KKR ahead of the IPL 2022 and the Mumbaikar has done a decent job so far, with his team winning three and losing as many matches from six outings. Shastri claims Shreyas will only get better and better as the tournament progresses. https://cricketaddictor.com/indian-premier-league-ipl-2022/ipl-2022-shreyas-iyer-is-incredibly-calm-as-a-captain-sam-billings/ Speaking on Star Sports, Shastri said, "Captaincy comes naturally to Shreyas. Look at his aggressive captaincy, you don't feel like he's leading KKR for the first time. Looks like he's been captaining them for the last 3 to 4 seasons and it is visible through his clarity of thoughts. "His mindset is clear about what brand of cricket he needs to play as a batter. At the same time, he's aware of what he as a captain needs to do to take his team to the playoffs and win the title. "I've liked the way he's spoken during the pre and post-match conferences and that shows he's clear with his plans. I am convinced he'll go a long way."

I always found it tough because he was a guy who always kept the game going no matter what situation the team was in, he kept batting the way he did."
