Big Bash League - Heat v Hurricanes — Lynn could miss this year's IPL

#3 Martin Guptill

ICC World Twenty20 India 2016: Â Australia v New Zealand — Martin Guptill is one of the best fielders in the international circuit as well

Martin Guptill is one of the best players in white ball cricket.

His recent form in tri-series only proves if he gets going no one can stop him. His last five scores of 5, 65,105, 62,21 only prove how dangerous he could be in the opening slot.

He has scored 2271 runs in 75 T20 international matches with a strike rate of 132.88 which includes two hundreds.

He is a natural stroke player who has the ability to play a big knock.

He is one of few players to score a double century in one day international, he scored 237 runs in quarter-final of 2015 World Cup. Now if Lynn becomes unavailable he could be a suitable replacement for KKR.

His fielding will also be a bonus for the side as he is one of the best in the department.

About the author

Cricket was always like a religion for me since my childhood. It first caught my attention in the Kolkata test vs Australia and when South Africa chased down 434 against Australia, my fascination for the game has reached new heights.
My current drug is league cricket especially IPL and CPL. I loved when these formats proved every critics wrong.
I also love to analyse the game from data point of view and I would like to thank Sportskeeda for giving me this opportunity for expressing views on the game an its future.
