Mahela Jayawardene could not be as successful as captain as he was with the bat.

#3 Brendon McCullum

Brendon McCullum could not inspire his mates at KKR as he did with the Kiwis.

Teams: Kolkata Knight Riders, Gujarat Lions

Matches: 14; Wins: 3; Losses: 10; Tie: 1; Win %: 25.00%

Brendon McCullum, fondly known as ‘Bazz’ will remain one of the most destructive batsmen and the most inspirational captain in New Zealand’s cricketing history. The Kiwi batsman could not lead Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL fans as they had their worst season under him in 2009 and finished last with 3 wins and 10 losses.

In the only match he led his new franchise Gujarat Lions, in the absence of regular skipper Suresh Raina, his team were thrashed at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore as the Lions suffered a 144-run defeat.
