Martin Guptill Has Announced Retirement From International Cricket: A big news is coming out from the corridors of cricket. New Zealand cricket team’s experienced opening batsman Martin Guptill has announced his retirement from international cricket. Before retiring, he managed to participate in all three formats of the game for his team. Guptill joined the New Zealand team in 2009 for the home ODI series against West Indies. Since then he never looked back. You can gauge his success from the fact that at present he is the third highest run scorer in ODIs for New Zealand.

Team India missed winning the World Cup in 2019 because of Guptill.

Who can forget the semi-final match of World Cup 2019? Team India faced New Zealand at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. Where the Kiwi team, after winning the toss and batting first, managed to score 239 runs at the loss of eight wickets in 50 overs. Team India certainly had a bad start while chasing the target, but in the lower order, Dhoni (50) and Jadeja (70) changed the course of the match by batting well. But due to an accurate throw by Guptill, Team India lost the winning game. He showed the way to the pavilion by running out India’s biggest finisher. After which this match also went out of the hands of the blue team.
