IPL 2018: Top 5 flops from unqualified teams

#3 Brendon McCullum - Royal Challengers Bangalore

The Kiwi wicket-keeper batsman’s batting memories go a long way in the Indian Premier League as he lit up the tournament’s first game, back in 2008 with a knock of 158 runs. One of the most destructive batsmen of this format, McCullum can single-handedly change the course of the game.

This was probably the reason that Royal Challengers Bangalore went on to pick him ahead of the Universal Boss, Chris Gayle. RCB franchise spent 3.60 crores for the former Kiwi skipper.

But it was a disappointing season for Baz, as he got to play only in 6 matches scoring 127 runs only. He failed to give those aggressive starts to RCB from where Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers could have capitalized. RCB will most probably drop him in the next season and look for some other promising opening batsman.
