The former New Zealand batter played for Royal Challengers Bangalore from 2008 to 2010 and then the represented RR in 2011. He then played three more seasons for Delhi Daredevils and Pune Warriors India.

Ross Taylor stepped down from captaincy in all formats in 2012 after he was asked to hand over the limited-overs duty to Brendon McCullum by Mike Hesson.
The virtual ceremony on Friday also saw Tim Southee being named the Test player of the year while Kim Cotton got the umpire of the year award.
Virat Kohli conceded that his counterpart Tom Latham's blistering knock took the game away from them as New Zealand registered a four-wicket victory.
Chasing a 348-run target, Henry Nicholls (78) and Kiwi skipper Tom Latham (69) also helped New Zealand's cause. Taylor's unbeaten 109 off 84 balls included 10 fours and 4 sixes.
Taylor was also quick to highlight that his team played much better cricket than the results eventually suggest.
Taylor, who was playing his 100th T20I, made yet another half-century, took the game deep but failed to finish it off.
Ross Taylor will soon look for another record when he plays the first Test of the two-match series against India starting February 21.
