A club cricketer named Steven Newey earned the appreciation of former New Zealand cricketer Brendon McCullum with his near perfection impression of Ross Taylor's batting style. From expressions to batting mannerism, the fan hit the bullseye with his impersonation.

In the video shared by the Alternative Commentary Collective, Newey takes guard, checks pitch, played and missed like Taylor. It was too good not to applaud.

McCullum loved the impression and called it ''Gold'. The 38-year-old has played a lot of cricket with Taylor and he has observed him closely. 

Taylor has played 101 Tests for New Zealand and scored 7238 runs with an average of 46.10. He has also featured in 100 T20Is. He became the first player ever to play 100 matches in all the three formats of the game.
