His aggregate of 7346 runs in ODIs is the third-highest for the Black Caps behind only Ross Taylor and Stephen Fleming. Guptill’s 237 against West Indies in Wellington in 2015 remains the highest score in an ODI World Cup and the second-highest score overall.
Guptill continues to navigate the world playing multiple T20 leagues where he has amassed 9798 runs in 349 matches with a strike rate of 31.70.
