Brendon McCullum is widely known for his maverick approach across formats and ability to take on the bowlers from the outset. He is playing his final Test against Australia at Christchurch and made it the one to remember as he fired scintillating ton to sail the New Zealand ship out of choppy waters. McCullum, in his 101st consecutive Test outing since debut, smashed 145 runs from just 79 deliveries to steer his side in a good position on a pitch where wickets tumbled like nine pins. He got the ball rolling from the outset at Christchurch and went ballistic. He took the attack to the opposition and kept them under fire as long as he was out there at the crease.

Earleir, as MCCullum belted the fastest century the world has seen on Saturday as he thrashed the Australian bowling in a landmark innings to celebrate his final Test. At the end of his explosive 145-run innings, the popular New Zealand captain felt a mixture of pride in what he had achieved and embarrassment at breaking a record set by his childhood hero Viv Richards. With a stream of sixes and fours, McCullum brought up his 100 in just 54 deliveries, two fewer than the previous record of 56 achieved by West Indies’ great Richards 30 years ago and Pakistan’s Misbah-ul-Haq in 2014, reported AFP.
