* Nickname: Bazz

* Describe yourself in three words: Brash, trusting and positive - that’s how I describe myself.

* Idea of relaxing off the field: Spending time with my family and having a gala time at horse races

* Advice to budding cricketers: Try and aim as high as you can and throw as far as you’re capable of. If you can do that you’ll do well. Always remember to back your instincts.

* Long term goal: Lead New Zealand to victory in the 2015 World Cup. As of now, my goal is to ensure KKR emerges champions in this IPL.

* Best IPL memory: Haha!! It has to be the 150-odd runs in Bengaluru back in the inaugural edition. Truly, the atmosphere there was unforgettable. Everything I had hit in that game stayed hit…Just one of those days when everything works for you.

* If not a cricketer, then? I had always wanted to be a cricketer. In fact, I’m very lucky to have had the opportunity to play at the top level and represent my country.

* Being back in the KKR fold: Certainly, it’s nice to be back to where I had actually begun my IPL stint. Hope I have a great time with the entire squad for the next month-and-a-half.
