#1. Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders possessed one of the smallest squads in IPL 2018. But they managed to punch above their weight and ended at the third spot.
For the upcoming season, they have released eight players and now have space for 12 cricketers out of which five can be overseas players. In such circumstances, having McCullum onboard could prove of great benefit for the Knight Riders.
If KKR indeed secure McCullum in their squad for IPL 2019, then life will come full circle for the New Zealand batsman. It was while batting for Kolkata Knight Riders that he scripted his epic knock of 158 not out in the opening game of the IPL. He has already played for the franchise for five years and was a part of the IPL 2012 winning squad too.
McCullum can act as a backup opener for the Knight Riders. He can come in handy when Lynn is called up by Cricket Australia for the World Cup. He will also be valuable in the mentoring role, as the squad has quite a few youngsters.
