New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman Brendon McCullum also didn't attract much interest and went for a modest $475,0000 to Team Kochi.

He is regarded as one of the most dangerous players in the limited overs format, but not many franchises showed interest

McCullum made headlines when he blasted a world record 158 for Kolkata Knight Riders against Bangalore in the first match of the inaugural IPL, in 2008.
