Explosive Brendon McCullum has expressed his delight over sharing the field with Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. The former New Zealand skipper played alongside the star duo for Royal Challengers Bangalore in their opening game against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday.
The memorable moment, however, turned sour, as KKR won the game comprehensively by four wickets. Sent in to bat first, the Royal Challengers rode on notable contributions from McCullum, de Villiers and Mandeep Singh to post 176 for 7. McCullum gave his team a fine start by scoring 43 off 27 with the help of 6 fours and two sixes. De Villiers then hit five sixes en route to his 44-run knock.
However, the score turned out to be a bit less in the end. Kolkata Knight Riders lost Chris Lynn cheaply but Sunil Narine came out all guns blazing. The West Indies superstar showed no mercy and scored his fifty off just 17 balls.
After the match, the star batsman expressed his delight over playing alongside Kohli and de Villiers but made sure to point it out that the team lost.
“I know we didn’t win but it was amazing to play alongside @ABdeVilliers17 and @imVkohli today. Massive respect. Looking forward to this season that is for sure!,” he tweeted.
