#2 Martin Guptill ( New Zealand )
Martin Guptill was the leading run-scorer of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, but he failed to score too many in this edition of the World Cup. Apart from an unbeaten fifty in the first match, he failed miserably. But he kept covering up for his failure with the bat with his tremendous fielding.
He took an unbelievable catch against Australia to remove Steve Smith. He also dismissed MS Dhoni in the first semi-final of the World Cup by a direct hit and thus ended India's last hopes of entering the final. Guptill's own World Cup ended in tears in the Super Over but as a fielder he had lit up the spectacle.
Guptill is at the number one spot in the list of most runs saved by a player. He saved 47 runs in his ten matches.
(All run-saved stats obtained from the official broadcaster.)
