#2 Brendon McCullum
Brendon McCullum was the linchpin of the Kiwi batting order for over a decade. The wicketkeeper-batsman, who is known for his heavy hitting, famously kicked off the inaugural IPL edition in 2007 with a blockbuster century for the Kolkata Knight Riders. This IPL too, he has been in great form and is competing with David Warner for the Orange Cap for the most runs scored in the tournament.
The opener has always been explosive, an attribute which is not quite reflected in his Cricket 07 ratings where his batting is woefully underrated. An attacking batsman by nature, his attacking attribute is only 67, with NO OTHER batting attribute rated above 70 which is puzzling because he is a player known for his ability to destroy opposition attacks.
EA have also failed to give McCullum any special batting skills. He is neither a driver nor a slogger (Really EA?) and also struggles to play spin or short deliveries. All in all, these are very puzzling ratings for a man who is in demand by T20 franchises world over for his attacking instincts.
