7. Brendon McCullum (2015):

Brendon McCullum’s second IPL century, which was his first for Chennai Super Kings, helped the home team win a big second game. His 100 not out off 56 balls included hits into the empty stands of MA Chidambram Stadium, two ramps for sixes over the keeper’s head, and a hard to believe reverse-pull to get him to 99 after IPL rookie Trent Boult saw that he was getting ready for a ramp and bowled a slower bouncer. McCullum’s score was helped by MS Dhoni’s powerful 53 off 29 balls. Dhoni was more at home when he came in at 135 for 2.
