Brendon McCullum made a bleak return to the crease when he was dismissed for a two-ball duck as his new Indian Premier League side cruised to victory.
The Gurajat Lions held the Kings XI Punjab to 161-6 off their 20 overs with West Indian paceman Dwayne Bravo posting 4-22 bowling figures.
McCullum, who was signed for a $1.6m wage, lasted just two balls in the chase as he was stumped in his first game since playing his final test for New Zealand in a loss to Australia in February.
Charging the bowling of Sandeep Sharma, McCullum whiffed as the ball spun past him and knew instantly his IPL season had gotten off to a dismal start.
Fellow opener Aaron Finch provided the backbone to his team's innings, smashing 74 runs while Dinesh Karthik added 41 not out in the win.
