At the very thought of a beautiful loft over long-on and long-off, Martin Guptill's name strikes us. An under-rated right-handed batsman from Auckland, Guptill has the ability to perform exceedingly well when conditions suit him. A hard attacking batsman at the top, Guptill knows the conditions quite well. The small boundaries will also aide his case, the Indian bowlers will be vary of his power hitting ability. He is also an excellent fielder. Who can forget MS Dhoni's run out by his direct hit in the WC 2019 semi-final? Guptill also plays a lot of franchise T20 cricket around the world, and he has the experience which the Kiwis would want. His figures also represent the same, 83 matches, 2436 runs with a highest score of 105.

He also has a point to prove after being snubbed from the IPL 2020 auctions in Kolkata in December last year. Watch out Indian bowlers, if you don't get him early, Guptill can hurt you quite badly.
