This innings is recognized as the highest individual score in a World Cup match and marked New Zealand\u2019s first double-century in ODIs. Other notable innings include an unbeaten 189 against England in 2013 and a stellar 180 not out against South Africa in 2017, both of which are among the top four ODI scores for the Black Caps.<\/p>\n In the T20 format, Guptill played notable innings as well, including a splendid 101 not out against South Africa in 2012 and a fantastic 105 against Australia in 2018.<\/p>\n While he is best known for his white-ball cricket, Guptill also made valuable contributions in Test matches, scoring a total of 2,586 runs in 47 games.
