It was a season that New Zealand cricket will remember forever. The side led by Brendon McCullum played some amazing cricket and till the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, they were the best team in the mega-event. On a personal note, this was the best end McCullum might had hoped for as he received the highest honour of the ceremony and was awarded with the Sir Richard Hadlee Medal.
