Martin Guptill, one of New Zealand‘s most prolific opening batters, has officially announced his retirement from international cricket. Guptill, known for his remarkable performances in both ODIs and T20Is, decided to hang up his boots after a distinguished career that has left an indelible mark on the sport.

Career highlights of Martin Guptill

Guptill’s career is studded with numerous highlights that have contributed to his legacy. He holds the record for the highest individual score in a Cricket World Cup match, an unbeaten 237 against West Indies during the 2015 tournament. His aggressive style and ability to score quickly made him a key player in New Zealand’s white-ball teams.

Guptill’s IPL career

Despite being a supremely talented and explosive batter in white-ball cricket, Guptill struggled to establish himself in the highly competitive Indian Premier League (IPL). Known for his aggressive stroke play and consistency in international ??cricket, the Kiwi opener couldn’t translate his success onto the IPL stage.

Over the course of his sporadic appearances, Guptill featured in just 13 matches across multiple seasons, managing to score 270 runs at an average of 22.5, including a solitary half-century. His limited opportunities and lack of impactful perfo?rmances prevented him from securing a permanent spot in the cash-rich league, leavin??g fans wondering what could have been if he had been given a longer run or adapted better to the challenges of the IPL.
