My style of IPL leadership was wild: KKR coach McCullum

KKR head coach Brendon McCullum has said that his coaching style during the IPL this year was a little wild.


After struggling in the first leg of the tournament in India, KKR made a remarkable turnaround when the event was moved to the UAE, reaching the finals to play eventual champions CSK. “My style of leadership or coaching was perhaps a little wild,” McCullum said.


The former New Zealand captain though, was pleased to see the comeback KKR made in the league. “It takes a little while to really dig down and thankfully we were able to do it in the second half of the tournament and we got a bit more intent into batting and then we were able to play a bit more of an aggressive form of cricket. Thankfully it translated to results and we got on a bit of a roll.”


KKR had just two wins out of seven matches at the end of the first leg and were placed seventh. But, in the second half of the tournament in the UAE, they won five out of their remaining league matches to make the playoffs, and then, the finals.
