"Two outstanding gentlemen will return to @KKRiders! @Eoin16 with his power middle order game & outstanding leadership help for @DineshKarthik & one of the games premier fast bowlers @patcummins30 who I feel was the best player on offer for this years @IPL auction Welcome boys!," Brendon McCullum tweeted.

Pat Cummins, who is currently representing Australia in the three-match Test series against New Zealand, replied to McCullum's tweet by saying, "Can't wait Baz".

McCullum, in response, made a hilarious request to Cummins as he tweeted, "Think you should rest the remainder of the Nz Test series to make sure you will be in peak condition for the @ipl".
