Former KKR captain Brendon McCullum has said that captaincy has affected his batting during the second edition of IPL in South Africa.

He also admitted that he tried too many things in the tournament.

“I tried to be too responsible with my batting. My game is based around being aggressive and playing with no fear, and when you're willing yourself to perform so much that can often affect that aggressiveness”—he said.

"I think the messages that I was preaching I actually wasn't following myself in terms of that aggressive style of cricket. In hindsight, I think I let the captaincy affect my batting, but fortunately, towards the end of the competition I produced some performances that helped the team win as well"—he added.

He also said that he has learned a lot and enjoyed the challenge.

“It was a tough challenge and results didn't go the way we wanted, but it was a great experience and I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to captain a franchise with such a big fan following. I certainly learned some lessons which will help me as I continue to experience everything cricket has to offer”—he added.

KKR will miss the service of McCullum due to his national duties.
